Arsenic and adobo5/25/2023 Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her own neck on the chopping block…. Readers will be clamoring for their next meal at Tita Rosie’s Kitchen, so anticipation for the next in this series will be high. With the cops treating her like she's the one and only suspect, and the shady landlord looking to finally kick the Macapagal family out and resell the storefront, Lila's left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. Arsenic and Adobo is a fast and fun read, with a mystery that plays fair without being too obvious and just enough romantic tension to offset the murder. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case. She's tasked with saving her Tita Rosie's failing restaurant, and she has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment. After catching her fianc in flagrante delicto, Lila finally ends her relationship with restaurateur Sam and returns to her hometown of Shady Palms, a small town and distant suburb of Chicago. When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. In Arsenic and Adobo, Lila Macapagal, age 25, is an ordinary young woman whose trusting nature has led to very bad judgment in her romantic partners. The first book in a new culinary cozy series full of sharp humor and delectable dishes - one that might just be killer.
