Dial A For Aunties by Jesse Sutanto is a deliriously fun mix of romantic comedy and murder mystery. When Meddy Chan, a wedding photographer, accidentally kills her blind date, she is plunged into a whirlwind of chaotic and hilarious events. With no one else to turn to, Meddy enlists the help of her meddlesome but well-meaning aunties. Their initial plan of improving Meddy's love life goes awry, and now they must dispose of a dead body while managing the biggest wedding of the year.

But nothing is ever simple. As the aunties concoct increasingly outlandish schemes, the wedding venue turns out to be owned by Meddy's ex-boyfriend, Nathan, the one who got away. This reunion is anything but convenient—unless it's fate? Torn between hiding her criminal mishap and rekindling an old flame, Meddy navigates a series of humorous and heartwarming moments that will leave readers in stitches.

Winner of the Comedy Women In Print Prize 2021, this novel is a riotous blend of dark humour, quirky family dynamics, and romantic escapades. Beth O’Leary, the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Road Trip, praises it as ‘whip-smart, original and so funny,’ adding that she found it ‘impossible to put down and lost count of the number of times I laughed out loud.’
