Mystery Book Club: Read "Arsenic and Adobo" *For Adults
Wednesday, January 11, 2023
Mystery and Thriller readers, this is for you! Please join us, in person, for our Mystery Book Club where we discuss "Arsenic and Adobo" by Mia P. Manansala.
Synopsis:
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…
We'll have some copies of the book at the library or you can order it from our online catalog.
