Mia P. Manansala whips up another delicious Filipina American foodie mystery in Murder & Mamon, her 4th adventure in the Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery series, featuring baker & amateur sleuth Lila Macapagal. As spring arrives in Shady Palms, Ill., Lila's three ninangs (godmothers)—April, Mae, & June, whom she calls the "Calendar Crew"—are preparing to open their own laundromat. But before their grand opening, the ladies are shocked to find a dead body in the building—plus some graffiti that makes Lila wonder if her ninangs' gossiping habit has caught up to them at last.

Manansala (Blackmail & Bibingka; Homicide & Halo-Halo; Arsenic & Adobo) brings back her diverse, bighearted cast of Lila's family & friends, including Lila's warm-&-fuzzy Tita Rosie; Rosie's formerly-no-good son, Ronnie; & Lila's business partners at the Brew-ha Café, Elena & Adeena. Everyone pitches in to comfort the ninangs and solve the case. Even Lila's dentist boyfriend, Jae, reluctantly lends a hand. Manansala peppers her narrative with Tagalog words, mouthwatering descriptions of Tita Rosie's Filipino feasts, & the Brew-ha's twists on café classics, including the titular mamon (a chiffon cake). 

During her investigation, Lila considers the damaging effects of her ninangs' sharp tongues, while also delving into an underground gambling ring; a scandal involving Ninang April's visiting niece, Divina; &—most dangerous of all—a longstanding feud between church ladies of a certain age. Witty & well-plotted, Manansala's fourth mystery is satisfying with a few twists, just like the ninangs' juicy gossip or a batch of Lila's pandan cheesecake brownies. Lovers of cozy mysteries, clever female sleuths, & baked goods will enjoy every bite.—Katie Noah Gibson, Cakes, Tea & Dreams
