Coming back to this review to add, after rereading what I wrote, it strikes me that one of my favorite things about the book is what wasn't there! I don't think there were any white people, but it wasn't explicitly called out. There wasn't any racism experienced by anybody, and and maybe it's unrealistic of me, but I really liked being able to read a book about people with rich inner lives and honest experiences doing things together without being halted by other people's racist ideas and actions.

Vera was hilarious and I know so many Aunties like this. She was great, and the perfect balance of nosy and caring.
All our characters had interesting secret lives that unravelled so nicely. I wanted to know the tea (wink wink) and they spilled it on such a great progression.
Getting sucked into Vera’s world was absolutely hilarious, and I actually just loved it.
The mystery itself was really great. I did call the killer about halfway through HOWEVER another twist in there through the story was NOT foreseen so props for that.
