I love this book so much! It seriously played out in my head as a movie like “Crazy Rich Asians”.  Vera is such a charismatic character who takes no guff and demands her way in the nicest old lady manner possible. Gosh, she is so funny! I was laughing out loud envisioning Vera up to all her antics, back talking, and ordering her found family around. I was not expecting found family in a murder mystery but it was written so well. Every character was lively and felt so real. The multiple POV was done tastefully and helped the reader get to know the characters even better. I loved this book more than I expected to! What a great read!
