Tea shop owner, matchmaker, and amateur detective Vera Wong is a sixty-year-old self-proclaimed tea expert who enjoys sipping a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy 'detective work' on the internet (AKA checking up on her son to see if he's dating anybody yet). However, when Vera wakes up one morning to find a dead man in the middle of her tea shop, it's going to take more than a strong Longjing to fix things. Knowing she'll do a better job than the police possibly could – because nobody sniffs out a wrongdoing quite like a suspicious Chinese mother with time on her hands – Vera decides it's down to her to catch the killer.

Nobody spills the tea like this amateur sleuth. Knives Out meets Kim's Convenience for anyone who loves solving mysteries by Richard Osman and Janice Hallett, and watching Death in Paradise and Midsomer Murders.
