In the first book of this new culinary cozy series brimming with sharp wit and delectable dishes – dishes that might just be killer – Lila Macapagal’s life takes a dramatic turn after a brutal breakup forces her back home. Balancing saving her Tita Rosie’s failing restaurant, dodging matchmaking aunties with well-meaning but intrusive advice, and facing down a notoriously critical ex-boyfriend feels like a rom-com recipe gone wrong. But things take a genuinely murderous turn when the ex, a notorious food critic, keels over after a fight with Lila, transforming her lighthearted homecoming into a real-life Agatha Christie case. With the cops eyeing her with suspicion and a greedy landlord circling like a shark, Lila, armed with her loyal Dachshund Longanisa, a network of curious aunties, and her barista bestie, dives headfirst into a delicious, deadly investigation where she might be the next course on the menu.
