Arsenic and Adobo, by Mia P. Manansala
4.0
This was such a cute, fun, and fast read!
I was really looking forward to this book as a big lover of true crime and Filipino food. I thought Mia Manansala had a great balance of both seriousness and light-heartedness, mystery and romance. I didn't realize this would be setting up a series, and I'm really looking forward to where Lila's story is going to take her. There isn't a big cliffhanger at the end, but there are a few loose strings that I am dying to see tied up (hello, I need more Amir and Jae tension!!! lol).
This would work as a really good beach/summer read. I haven't read many "cozy mysteries" and now I think I'm a fan of the genre!
