This is such a nice twist to murder mystery. Vera Wong is the typical Asian grandmother/mother/auntie who likes to get in your business, but really has everyone's well-being at the end of the day. I like the multiple povs and how each character has their own story and there's dimension to them.
The ending was quite the twist; I don't know why I didn't think of that reason as the way Marshall was killed. The only good thing Marshall did in his life was die, and inadvertently created a close-knit group of the people who he has wronged.
