I absolutely loved 'Arsenic and Adobo'! A delightful cozy mystery with diverse characters, a captivating plot, a budding romance, delicious food, and an exploration of real issues. Unlike older, dated cozy mysteries, this one is really refreshing. The author's skillful use of red herrings adds an extra layer of intrigue, keeping readers hooked. I am planning to dive into the entire series.
