Main Line Happy Hour Book Club - Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers

Let's meet at Char & Stave in Ardmore to discuss 'Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers'. Char & Stave offers us the best of both worlds, serving coffee and cocktails!

We'll meet at 5:45, introduce ourselves, and cheers! I'll bring some questions and conversation topics about the book, and will be interested to hear everyone's thoughts.

RSVPs: I am limiting the RSVPs to 8, so not to overwhelm the space. Snag your spot ASAP, but please remove your RSVP promptly if you cannot attend, so someone else has the opportunity to read the book and join us.

Parking: Parking on Rittenhouse Place becomes free at 6pm, so you will have to pay for the first 15 minutes. It's somewhere in the ballpark of .25-.50 cents, which can be paid by meter or Park Mobile app.

Here's Amazon's description of our read:
Vera Wong is a lonely little old lady—ah, lady of a certain age—who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to.

Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing—a dead man in the middle of her tea shop. In his outstretched hand, a flash drive. Vera doesn’t know what comes over her, but after calling the cops like any good citizen would, she sort of . . . swipes the flash drive from the body and tucks it safely into the pocket of her apron. Why? Because Vera is sure she would do a better job than the police possibly could, because nobody sniffs out a wrongdoing quite like a suspicious Chinese mother with time on her hands. Vera knows the killer will be back for the flash drive; all she has to do is watch the increasing number of customers at her shop and figure out which one among them is the killer.

What Vera does not expect is to form friendships with her customers and start to care for each and every one of them. As a protective mother hen, will she end up having to give one of her newfound chicks to the police?

I look forward to seeing everyone there!
