Event Description

Our April 2026 Hobart Book Chat title is Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto. Pick up a copy at the Hobart Branch to chat! Contact [email protected] or (219) 942-2243 for more details.

Summary: "Vera Wong is a lonely lady of a certain age who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco's Chinatown. Despite living alone, Vera likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her college-aged son is up to. One morning Vera finds a dead man in the middle of her tea shop; in his outstretched hand, a flash drive. Vera doesn't know what comes over her, but after calling the cops she swipes the flash drive from the body and tucks it safely into the pocket of her apron. She knows the killer will be back for the flash drive; all she has to do is watch the increasing number of customers at her shop and figure out which one among them is the killer."
