Book Talk: Arsenic and Adobo

Mia P. Manansala

Rating: 5/5

This was such a fun book to read. I haven’t read a mystery book in quite some time but this was so refreshing. From the main character to the food, to the sub-characters, I loved everything.

I didn’t finish this one in one sitting but I definitely could have.

Lila moves back home to help out with the family restaurant but is dealing with a horrible food critic who happens to be her ex-boyfriend. He’s constantly singling out her family’s restaurant, so when he dies after eating their food, it’s to no surprise she’s the prime suspect.

Lila is on the hunt to see who set up her family, shut down their family restaurant, and killed her childhood love.

It’s a fun book to read and I had many laughs throughout the book.

I loved it so much, that I pre-ordered the second book in the series, releasing this month.

Please tell me you’ve read this one! If you haven’t then what are you waiting for!?

love & light,
