Book Synopsis



Love is in the air for the citizens of Shady Palms, but Cupid's arrow isn't the only thing striking the town--not with another killer on the loose.

Things are looking up for the Brew-ha Cafe, and Lila Macapagal can't think of anything that could break the spell, especially with Valentine's Day coming up--she can't wait to celebrate with her boyfriend, Jae Park. Adding to the lovey-dovey atmosphere is Hana Lee, Shady Palms's newest resident. She's also Jae's beloved cousin and chocolatier at Choco Noir, the latest addition to the town's culinary offerings. Everything is coming into place for Hana, who left her old life in Minnesota behind to work at Choco Noir, owned by her best friend.

Unfortunately, beneath the sweet surface of Shady Palms runs a bitter undercurrent, as a series of attacks against women-owned businesses in the area escalates from petty theft to assault and murder when Hana is found knocked unconscious inside Choco Noir, and the chocolate shop owner is put out of business--for good.

With Hana left in a coma, a murderer hiding amongst them, and the safety of the women entrepreneurs of Shady Palms at risk, the Park brothers team up with the Brew-ha crew to put a stop to the villain before they strike again.

Delectable food descriptions but . . .

Death and Dinuguan by Mai P. Manansala is the sixth and final book in A Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mystery. The series began with considerable strength; however, following the initial volumes, it became less engaging. This edition spent too much time on character backstories which felt unnecessary at this point in the series. There are overly detailed food descriptions that will have your mouth watering. The mystery was predictable with a lackluster reveal. All the traditional elements that we expect in A Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mystery are present (small town community, friends, family). Unfortunately, the plot was thin, and the pacing was mixed. I liked that the author featured a diverse group of characters (ethnic and LGBTQ+). I felt that there needed to be an epilogue that would nicely wrap up the series (since it is ending, give the readers those happily ever after moments). While I enjoyed the delectable descriptions of the dishes in Death and Dinuguan, the rest of the story was not as appetizing.
