Vera is at it again. Her new coterie of friends/found family have made a big difference in her life, but she misses the excitement of working on a murder case. When circumstances lead her to a sad and lonely girl looking for a missing friend, Vera's curiosity goes into overdrive and soon she is deep in a new investigation. Just like in the first book, Vera gathers suspects and friends like a mother hen, and plies them with her "world famous" tea and absolutely delicious sounding chinese food. I want a Vera in my life to feed me these amazing meals! Vera becomes a tiktok sensation. Social media is a major plot element in this book - how it can become a dangerous obsession, and also how it can be used for good. It is a love letter to families - the ones we come from and the ones we make, as well as a cautionary tale about false families. This is a great cozy mystery, perfect for summer or vacation reading.
