Arsenic and Adobo

Lila Macapagal returns home to help her family's struggling restaurant after a bad breakup. When her ex-boyfriend, a food critic, dies after eating there, Lila and her family are immediately implicated. Armed with the "nosy auntie network," her barista best friend, and her trusty Dachshund, Longanisa, Lila sets out to solve this tasty, twisted murder case before she ends up on the chopping block herself. This is the first book in the Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery series by Mia P. Manansala.
