Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man) by Jesse Q. Sutanto

4.75

emotional funny mysterious fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I enjoyed this one much more than the first one. I think I got used to Vera and came to love her as well as her motley band of misfits. I honestly want a Vera in my life. She’s funny and truly wants to care for those in her life.

Some of the twists were sort of obvious by about 60% of the way through the book. But the journey was still worth it. I also loved the overall messages in the book, and I can’t wait to see what Vera gets up to on her trip.

My only complaint was that the book was a bit repetitive. However, overall, it was a dark yet funny cozy mystery.

Narrator Rating: 5.0 stars

I’m getting more and more used to Eunice Wong as a narrator, and her voice for Vera got less abrasive to my ears in this book. She does excellent voices for everyone.
