Club Book Episode 187 Jesse Q. Sutanto

Internationally acclaimed author Jesse Q. Sutanto writes across genres and for all ages. Her fiction to date includes the middle grade Theo Tan series and several young adult novels. The latter include revenge-thriller The Obsession (2021), campus mystery The New Girl (2022), and laugh-out-loud rom com Well That Was Unexpected (2022). All draw inspiration from the author’s own Chinese-Indonesian heritage and life spent between Jakarta and Singapore. Adult readers may know Sutanto best for break-the-mold detective stories like Dial A for Aunties and Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers, both of which have been optioned for screen adaptations by major studios. Sutanto and her Chinese shopkeeper-turned-sleuth Vera Wong won the Edgar Award for Best Original Paperback and Audie Award for Mystery in 2024. Wong will be back this April in Sutanto’s newest release, Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man). The Seattle Times raves: “Sutanto proves once again that no crime — or nosy auntie — is too big to handle.”The post Club Book Episode 187 Jesse Q. Sutanto first appeared on Club Book.
