🔎📚 A MURDER MYSTERY? A TEA SHOP? AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE WHO CAN’T MIND HER OWN BUSINESS?

Yep. We’re reading THAT one. 👀😂

Our next Cortland Community Library Book Club pick is:

📖✨ Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto

Vera Wong is a little old lady who runs a cozy tea shop… and one morning, she discovers a dead man in her shop. 😳

Naturally, Vera decides she’s going to solve the murder herself.

Because who better to investigate than the woman who knows everyone’s business? 😂🕵️‍♀️
