"The annual Shady Palms Corn Festival is one of the town's biggest moneymakers, drawing crowds from all over the Midwest looking to partake in delicious treats, local crafts, and of course, the second-largest corn maze in Illinois.

Guilt and Ginataan by Mia P. Manansala is an enjoyable cozy mystery. Shady Palm’s Corn Festival is underway with a plethora of corny treats and a crafty corn maze. I like the characters in this series. They are realistic and relatable. I like the close family ties and friendships. The food and drink descriptions will have your mouth watering (there are recipes at the end of the book). The mystery was fun but a tad predictable. Lila and her friends set out to prove that Adeena did not commit the crime. There are several suspects along with a red herring. There was plenty of drama. The whodunit ended abruptly, and I was left with unanswered questions. This time around, there was less time with aunties, but more with the friends. I enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout the story. Guilt and Ginataan is the fifth book in A Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mysteries. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series. I am looking forward to the next book in this charming series. Guilt and Ginataan is a corntastic cozy with fantastic food, delightful drinks, an alarming corn maze, a friend in need, clever crafts, nosy aunties, and a killer to catch.
