I had previously read one of Jesse Sutano’s novels (Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers) and enjoyed it, so I decided to tackle another of her works. Dial A for Aunties is another comedic mystery with the protagonist, Meddelin Chan, in deep trouble. She accidentally kills a blind date by tasering him while he was driving (he was coming onto to her and wouldn’t take no for an answer). At least she thinks he’s dead. And the hi-jinks continue on from there. Meddy gets her three Indonesian aunties and her mom involved, and the body winds up in a cooler at a wedding. You will have to suspend belief while reading, but it is a barrel of laughs with a little romance thrown in. I’m moving on to Four Aunties and a Wedding next…
