Arsenic and Adobo

An enjoyable and lighthearted mystery. The books in the genre I typically read tend to lean toward the darker side so I wasn't sure if I'd like a murder story with a quirky air surrounding it. I was pleasantly surprised. I loved Lila's family especially. I wanted to be a part of it. And the food! A book hasn't made me so hungry since I read The Tuscan Child. The best part is that there are a handful of recipes at the back of the book. I've never read a fiction book with that kind of bonus before. I can't wait to try them!
