Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Sutanto

Sixty-year-old tea expert Vera Wong spends her days sleuthing on the internet (mostly to see if her son has a girlfriend yet).

This unlikely detective would fit right in with the cast of Only Murders in the Building.

1st to Die by James Patterson

Homicide inspector Lindsay Boxer has a serial killer on her hands: a murderer who targets newlywed couples on their wedding night. Lindsay is determined to bring the killer to justice, and teams up with Claire, a leading coroner, Cindy, a journalist, and Jill, a top attorney. Together, this unlikely group of women form the Women’s Murder Club.

While this is more of a thriller than a cosy mystery, the dedication and teamwork of the characters reminds us of the hit Disney+ show.
