Dragon Lady: Vera is an older Chinese woman, and every single character agrees how fierce she is, with almost everyone folding on her straightaway because it's not worth the effort of arguing. |

Who Murdered the Asshole: Marshall Chen is an extremely horrible person: a Con Artist, a bully, and a domestic abuser. Characters openly admit that they're not surprised somebody wanted Marshall dead. |

MacGuffin: The flash drive, and Oliver's novel. Neither have anything to do with the mystery but both are objects that the characters are looking for throughout the book and represents several clues. |

Shadow Archetype |
| | Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice For Murderers / int_b5e63cc4 |
comment |
Shadow Archetype: Vera has one in Alex Chen. Both are elderly Chinese widow/widowers (and close friends) whose spouses died and whose sons haven't spent as much time with them as they want, and who are protective of Emma. However, while Vera is disappointed in her beloved son, Tilly, he's decent enough, and Emma is her surrogate granddaughter, while she is Alex's literal granddaughter. Marshall, on the other hand, is a bully, an abusive spouse, and a Con Artist who plans to rob his own daughter. Alex murdered Marshall, left the body in Vera's tea shop by mistake, and is not able to come over as a result, while Vera finds Marshall's body and forms a new group of friends in trying to solve Marshall's murder. |

Chekhov M.I.A.: Alex is Vera's loyal customer but claims to have been unable to come and visit her due to his wife's Alzheimers. It turned out that he is Marshall and Oliver's father, and his wife is long dead, but he hasn't been able to visit Vera since Oliver came over to Vera's teashop to stop him from putting the pieces together and recognizing Alex as his father. |
