My weekend was pretty good but on Sunday, I had to fix two of the shelves on one of my bookcases. Two of the shelves buckled under the weight of too many books. I had to remove all of my trade edition comic books because they were way too heavy but I did find another place for them. So now all that left on those two shelves are a some hardcover and paperback books. It's funny that those books are lighter than the comic books.
Anyway, I found another book that I'm interested in reading, Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala. It's a cozy centered mystery that follows Lila as she tries to not only save her Tita (Aunt) Rosie's restaurant but also solve a murder that she's the prime suspect for. I'm interested in knowing who killed her ex-boyfriend? And why? I really love reading mystery books and this one is definitely going on my list.
Book: Arsenic and Adobo (Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery book #1) by Mia P. Manansala
Description:
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…
