Arsenic and Adobo by Mia Manansala
After a bad break-up, Lila moves back to the small town outside Chicago where she grew up. She works at her Aunt Rosie's not-very-successful Filipino restaurant while trying to avoid her multiple aunties' matchmaking attempts. When a local food critic (and one of Lila's former boyfriends) keels over dead after tasting food at the restaurant, Lila become the prime suspect in his murder due to her relationship to the dead guy and because she works at the restaurant. She soon realizes that she is the ONLY suspect the cops are looking at, so it's up to Lila and her friends to do their own investigation to clear her name.
Light, fun cozy mystery, the first book in a new series. I worked with Mia's mother at the library for many years, and they must be so proud!
