The Deadly Art of Coconut Milk - Mia P. Manansala

After a difficult breakup, Lila returned to her hometown in Illinois to work in her Aunt Rosie's restaurant. There, every day, her three eccentric godmothers come to offer her advice on marital and professional matters.

It's impossible to escape this tradition, especially when the family comes from the Philippines!

Luckily, Lila has Tita Rosie's cooking, which, while not very Instagrammable, is very comforting. And she has Nisa, her dog, Adeena, her best friend, and her ex, Derek, who has taken up food criticism.

When he suddenly dies in the restaurant after eating a coconut milk dessert, suspicion falls on Lila and her family. To clear her name, the young woman has no choice but to solve this strange case that has thrown the small town into turmoil.

The Agatha Award-winning "The Murderous Art of Coconut Milk" introduces us to a family that is as eccentric as it is warm, and heralds a highly addictive series that introduces us to the cuisine of the Philippines through the recipes included in the book.
