Apparently all I have been reading lately are cozy mysteries but Arsenic and Adobo is the best example of one!  Filled with food and family, Lila must solve the murder of her high school boyfriend, a food critic with a nasty reputation around town, before the police arrest her for it.

I was hooked from the opening line, "My name is Lila Macapagal and my life has become a rom-com cliché." Also, the cover is an immediate attention grabber!

Arsenic and Adobo is the first book in the Tita Rosie's Kitchen series and I cannot wait to read the second book, Homicide and Halo-Halo, coming out in February!
