Expected publication: October 12th 2021
From the publisher:
Food anthropologist Miriam Quiñones-Smith's move
from New York to Coral Shores, Miami, puts her academic career on hold
to stay at home with her young son. Adding to her funk is an opinionated
mother-in-law and a husband rekindling a friendship with his ex.
Gracias to her best friend, Alma, she gets a short-term job as a
Caribbean cooking expert on a Spanish-language morning TV show. But when
the newly minted star attends a Women's Club luncheon, a socialite
sitting at her table suddenly falls face-first into the chicken salad,
never to nibble again.
Thoughts:
I absolutely loved this debut
cozy mystery! I liked how there was Spanish mixed into the dialogue of
the book and there is enough surrounding context to figure out what is
being said with having to directly translate. I really liked the
character dynamics and relationships. This is a wonderfully written
debut, I highly recommend this book!
Disclaimer: I was given an eARC by Crooked Lane Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
