Jesse Q Sutanto



Jesse Q Sutanto is the author of Dial A for Aunties, The Obsession, and Theo Tan and the Fox Spirit. She has a master's degree in creative writing from Oxford University, though she hasn't found a way of saying that without sounding obnoxious. The film rights to her women's fiction, Dial A for Aunties, was bought by Netflix in a competitive bidding war. The novel will be out in April 2021. Jesse lives in Indonesia with her husband, her two daughters, and her ridiculously large extended family, many of whom live just down the road.

This Girl's a Killer (2024)
Emma C Wells
"Completely riveting. When I wasn't reading about Cordelia Black, I was thinking about her. Utterly obsessed and ready to support all of Cordelia's wrongs!"

The Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco (2024)
(Serial Killer Guide to San Francisco Mysteries, book 1)
Michelle Chouinard
"Both chilling and yet wholesome. I was drawn into the glamorous, mysterious world and could not keep myself from turning the pages and racing to the end. I devoured every quirky sentence."
thumb
Till Death Do Us Part (2024)
Laurie Elizabeth Flynn
"No one spins a story that is equal parts heartwrenching and velvet dark as Flynn does. This is a raw and unflinching look at all of the sacrifices being a woman requires, written in Flynn's trademark vivid prose. I hated that it had to end."
