Just finished @latinasleuths Mango, Mambo, and Murder and thoroughly enjoyed this first book in her Caribbean Kitchen Mystery series and I really hope this series has a long life (book 2?). When food anthropologist Dr. Miriam Quinones-Smith makes the move with her husband and son from New York to Coral Shores a suburb of Miami she finds herself trying to settle in with her from her best friend and realtor extraordinaire Alma who lands her a gig (short term) as the Caribbean on-air cooking expert for an UnMundo television show. It's not academia but it'll do for now. Then while attending an women's club lunch with Alma a young woman dies and Alma is the main suspect. Now it's up to Miriam to prove her best friend didn't do it and oh yeah find out if her husband is being unfaithful. This was such an enjoyable mystery to read plus I got an education on the Latin diaspora. I confess I am guilty of painting all of my spainish speaking brothers and sisters as Mexican but my eyes and mind were really opened to every aspect of Caribbean/Latin culture and the nuisances of each culture. I really hope to see some growth in Miriam's mother in law and I look forward to getting to know all of Miriam's new friends and family. Can't wait to discuss this @cozychallenges January book at the end of the month. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ #cozymysteryreader #cozybookreview #bookreview #bookrecommendation #cozymysteryauthor #cozymystery #caribbeankitchenmysteries #books #mysteries #mysterybooks #bookaholic #bookstagram #booklover #bookworm #readersofinstagram #cozytribe #cozycrew #cozymysterycrew #ilovecozymysteries #ilovebooks #ilovecozies #cozyauthor #cozyauthorsofcolor #cozymysteryreader #cozymysteryclub #cozyengagement #cozymysteryseries (at Durham, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY2NqXDPR7b/?utm_medium=tumblr
