Arsenic and Adobo (A Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mystery Book 1)

The premise of this culinary and comedic cozy is top notch! After Lila Macapagal moves back home and starts helping out at her Tita Rosie’s struggling restaurant, a visit from her ex-boyfriend/town food critic is the last thing she wants. Then to make matters much worse, he drops dead while eating his food Lila prepared for him and she is accused of killing him. So with the help of her bestie who is a barista next door and her cute dachshund, Lila works to prove her innocence. The food descriptions were all so fun, and I have heard the series gets even better as it goes along.
