SSFPL Book Club: Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala

The SSFPL Monthly Book Club will be discussing Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala.

 

Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala is a lighthearted culinary cozy mystery following Lila Macapagal, a young woman who moves back home after a bad breakup to help save her family's Filipino restaurant, while juggling an overbearing network of matchmaking aunties. When a nasty food critic and ex-boyfriend drops dead after eating her food, Lila becomes the prime suspect and must solve the murder.

 

Mia P. Manansala's debut novel, Arsenic and Adobo, hit the ABA Indie Bestseller List and has won multiple awards. Mia has also won numerous awards including the 2021 Agatha Award for Best First Novel, and 2021 Chicago Reader’s Best New Novel by a Chicagoan. As lover of all things geeky and cozy, Mia spends her days procrasti-baking, gaming, reading, eating, and staring adoringly at her dog, Gumiho. Her husband is pretty cool too.
