I think there's plenty of new exciting cozy mystery series and this is one the best debut I read in 2021.
It's an engrossing, entertaining and well written story that features an unusual MC (Maria is food anthropologist and a latina).
There's plenty going on in this book and I couldn't put it down as the author is talented storyteller and the plot kept me reading.
The mystery is a bit on the background and it wasn't hard to guess the culprit but what I really appreciated was how the characters were developed and how the author deals with some very serious issues like racism.
I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
