Dial A for Aunties: A Hilarious Mystery You Can't Put Down

Have you ever wondered what would happen if your meddlesome family tried to help you cover up a crime? Dial A for Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto spins a riotously funny and charming tale that combines murder, mischief, and family meddling into one irresistible package.

The Perfect Blend of Comedy and Mystery

If you've ever found yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place, only for your family to swoop in and 'help,' you'll find the hijinks in this book incredibly relatable. The story follows Meddy Chan, a wedding photographer who accidentally kills her blind date. The twist? Her helpful (though often overbearing) aunties come to her rescue, turning a simple cover-up into a spectacularly chaotic adventure.

"With every turn of the page, Sutanto keeps the laughter rolling and the suspense building."

Imagine trying to stash a body while handling the insanity of a wedding day. Meddy's Aunties, four incredibly distinct, larger-than-life characters, bring their unique problem-solving skills (often misguided) to the table, making each chapter a laugh-out-loud escapade.

A Delightful Cast of Characters

The heart and soul of this book are the Aunties. From Big Aunt’s no-nonsense approach to Fourth Aunt’s superstitious quirks, Sutanto expertly crafts a familial dynamic that’s brimming with warmth and hilarity.

  • Meddy Chan: The beleaguered protagonist caught in a web of murder and matrimony.
  • Big Aunt: The matriarch who believes she’s always right.
  • Second Aunt: The tech-savvy, pragmatic Auntie with a gadget for every occasion.
  • Third Aunt: The sweet-talking, socially savvy negotiator.
  • Fourth Aunt: The spiritual and superstitious force of nature.
"Each Auntie brings something unique and hysterical to the table, making you wish you had such a supportive (and entertaining) family."

This delightful ensemble ensures that no plan goes off without a hitch—or a hearty dose of comedy.

For Fans of Comedy and Unconventional Mysteries

If you find joy in stories that pair humor with mystery, Dial A for Aunties is your next must-read. The seamless blending of genres makes it equally engaging for fans of either.

Imagine Amy Poehler directing a wedding whilst navigating a murder scene—it’s this kind of chaotic brilliance that keeps readers hooked.

"Sutanto's writing not only entertains but touches on themes of cultural identity and family loyalty—wrapped in a blanket of laughter."
