| winifred vera quick: Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man) Jesse Q. Sutanto, 2025-04-01 Vera Wong is back and as meddling as ever in this follow-up to the hit Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers.… Ever since a man was found dead in Vera's teahouse, life has been good. For Vera that is. She’s surrounded by loved ones, her shop is bustling, and best of all, her son, Tilly, has a girlfriend! All thanks to Vera, because Tilly's girlfriend is none other than Officer Selena Gray. The very same Officer Gray that she had harassed while investigating the teahouse murder. Still, Vera wishes more dead bodies would pop up in her shop, but one mustn't be ungrateful, even if one is slightly...bored. Then Vera comes across a distressed young woman who is obviously in need of her kindly guidance. The young woman is looking for a missing friend. Fortunately, while cat-sitting at Tilly and Selena's, Vera finds a treasure trove: Selena's briefcase. Inside is a file about the death of an enigmatic influencer—who also happens to be the friend that the young woman was looking for. Online, Xander had it all: a parade of private jets, fabulous parties with socialites, and a burgeoning career as a social media influencer. The only problem is, after his body is fished out of Mission Bay, the police can't seem to actually identify him. Who is Xander Lin? Nobody knows. Every contact is a dead end. Everybody claims not to know him, not even his parents. Vera is determined to solve Xander's murder. After all, doing so would surely be a big favor to Selena, and there is nothing she wouldn't do for her future daughter-in-law. |

| winifred vera quick: Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers Jesse Q. Sutanto, 2023-03-14 A USA Today bestseller Edgar Award Winner for Best Original Paperback Audie Award Winner for Mystery Libby Award Winner for Best Mystery A lonely shopkeeper takes it upon herself to solve a murder in the most peculiar way in this captivating mystery by Jesse Q. Sutanto, bestselling author of Dial A for Aunties. 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? |

| winifred vera quick: Die Geschichte des Untergangs der RMS Titanic Everett Marshall, 2013-10-21 Vor 100 Jahren rammte die als unsinkbar geltende RMS Titanic einen Eisberg vor Neufundland und sank innerhalb von wenigen Stunden. Rund 1.500 Menschen fanden dabei ihren Tod in der eisigen Tiefe. Der Name des Unglücks-Luxusliners wurde zum Synonym für den Irrglauben an die Unfehlbarkeit der Technik und die daraus resultierende Ignoranz gegenüber den Gefahren der Schifffahrt. Ein Thema, das mit dem Unglück der Costa Concordia traurige Aktualität bekam. Das vorliegende Buch, im Original Story of the Wreck of the Titanic, wurde bereits 1912 nur wenige Monate nach der Katastrophe von Marshall Everett herausgegeben und aus Augenzeugenberichten und Zeitungsartikeln zusammengestellt. Auch wenn die Hauptintention des nun erstmals in deutscher Sprache erscheinenden Buches - Beteiligte und Überlebende zu Helden zu verklären - und der oftmals religiöse Beigeschmack aus heutiger Sicht dick aufgetragen erscheinen mögen, so schafft die Geschichte des Untergangs der RMS Titanic doch gerade dadurch eine eindrucksvolle Authentizität und Nähe zu dem schrecklichen Ereignis und zeigt uns auf, wie der Zeitgeist vor 100 Jahren versuchte, solch einen Schock zu verarbeiten. Höchst spannend zu lesen sind zum Beispiel die Zeugenvernehmungen und Erklärungsversuche, wie es zu dem Unglück kommen konnte. Denn bis auf wenige Ausnahmen war bereits 1912 bewiesen, was uns heute - 100 Jahre später - oftmals als neueste Forschungsergebnisse präsentiert wird. Die vielen Legenden und schrillen Vermutungen entstanden erst Jahre nach dem Untergang. Für den Titanic-Kenner und Neuling bietet das Buch eine handliche Zusammenfassung aller wichtigen Zeitdokumente. |

| winifred vera quick: Uncommon Arrangements Katie Roiphe, 2008-05-20 Katie Roiphe’s stimulating work has made her one of the most talked about cultural critics of her generation. Now this bracing young writer delves deeply into one of the most layered of subjects: marriage. Drawn in part from the private memoirs, personal correspondence, and long-forgotten journals of the British literary community from 1910 to the Second World War, here are seven “marriages à la mode”—each rising to the challenge of intimate relations in more or less creative ways. Jane Wells, the wife of H.G., remained his rock, despite his decade-long relationship with Rebecca West (among others). Katherine Mansfield had an irresponsible, childlike romance with her husband, John Middleton Murry, that collapsed under the strain of real-life problems. Vera Brittain and George Gordon Catlin spent years in a “semidetached” marriage (he in America, she in England). Vanessa Bell maintained a complicated harmony with the painter Duncan Grant, whom she loved, and her husband, Clive. And her sister Virginia Woolf, herself no stranger to marital particularities, sustained a brilliant running commentary on the most intimate details of those around her. Every chapter revolves around a crisis that occurred in each of these marriages—as serious as life-threatening illness or as seemingly innocuous as a slightly tipsy dinner table conversation—and how it was resolved…or not resolved. In these portraits, Roiphe brilliantly evokes what are, as she says, “the fluctuations and shifts in attraction, the mysteries of lasting affection, the endurance and changes in love, and the role of friendship in marriage.” The deeper mysteries at stake in all relationships. |

| winifred vera quick: Come, Thou Tortoise Jessica Grant, 2010-03-09 A delightfully offbeat story that features an opinionated tortoise and her owner who find themselves in the middle of a life-changing mystery. Audrey (a.k.a. Oddly) Flowers is living quietly in Oregon with Winnifred, her tortoise, when she finds out her dear father has been knocked into a coma back in Newfoundland. Despite her fear of flying, she goes to him, but not before she reluctantly dumps Winnifred with her unreliable friends. Poor Winnifred. When Audrey disarms an Air Marshal en route to St. John’s we begin to realize there’s something, well, odd about her. And we soon know that Audrey’s quest to discover who her father really was – and reunite with Winnifred – will be an adventure like no other. Excerpt: Winnifred is old. She might be three hundred. She came with the apartment. The previous tenant, a rock climber named Cliff, was embarking on a rock-climbing adventure that would not have been much fun for Winnifred. Back then her name was Iris. Cliff had inherited Iris from the previous tenant. Nobody knew how old Iris was or where she had come from originally. Now Cliff was moving out. He said, Would you like a tortoise. I would not say no to a tortoise, I said. I was alone in Portland and the trees were giant. I picked her up and she blinked at me with her upside-down eyelids. I felt instantly calm. Her eyes were soft brown. Her skin felt like an old elbow. I will build you a castle, I whispered. With a pool. And I was true to my word. |
