A RUSA Award-winning novel!
The first book in a new culinary cozy series full of sharp humor and delectable dishes-one that might just be killer....
When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. She's tasked with saving her Tita Rosie's failing restaurant, and she has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case.
With the cops treating her like she's the one and only suspect, and the shady landlord looking to finally kick the Macapagal family out and resell the storefront, Lila's left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her own neck on the chopping block…

scratch the cozy in 'cozy crime'

Not exactly what I'd define as cozy (just because there's lot's of food doesn't make it automatically cozy) but apart from that a spellbinding crime novel. Loved the many twists and turns, the loveable characters and also the problems (yk apart from being accused of murder) our protagonist had to face (just seemed very realistic to me, but also the reason why I wouldn't label it as cozy crime).
A deliciously mystery!

This book beautifully combines comedy and crime. It’s a delightful story that perfectly blends Filipino culture, culinary delights, and a murder mystery! The author’s personal experiences make it heartwarming and nostalgic (reminding me of the joy of cooking and eating with my family).
I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
P.S. I love the inclusion of recipes for the foods mentioned in the story!
