Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala
5.0

This is one tasty novel, rife with mystery and humor. Plus it's a series?? I can't wait to read more!

I loved Lina as a character and her reactions to the mystery unfolding. She's so relatable and I found myself laughing at her inner monologue. Add to that the delectable food descriptions and focus on family and culture, and you have a perfect book.

I appreciated the disclaimer at the beginning acknowledging some potential triggers and topics that were brought up during sensitivity reading. While they weren't an issue for me, I appreciate the care that went into it.

*Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.*
