![]() The Macapagal family appears to favor cheese and coconut spread, but I’m on team butter! □įor what I like to call a palate cleanser between heavier reads, Arsenic and Adobo will hit the spot, just like a freshly baked piece of pan de sal smothered in butter. Low key, this sounds like both of my grandmothers. I poked my head into Lola Flor’s room and noticed her lucky visor wasn’t hanging from its usual peg. But she and her family are innocent, and it’s a race against the official police investigation to not just keep them out of prison, but to save their restaurant, too. Sure, he died at her family’s restaurant, and yeah, maybe the supposed poisoning happened right after she served him lunch. In an enjoyable and briskly paced read (think speed-walk, not sprint), we follow heroine Lila as she strives to clear her name of suspicion in the murder of her ex-boyfriend Derek. A whodunit paired with comfort foods and absurdly relatable references to Fil-Am culture? SOLD! ![]() Manansala is a cozy mystery featuring a murder to solve, a band of gossip-loving aunties, and plenty of nods to life as a 2nd generation Filipino-American. ![]()
