Homicide and Halo-Halo by Mia P. Manansala
Product Details
Web ID: 14352458Lovely Cozy Mystery!
Lila—silently struggling from the trauma of book no1, starting her new business with her best friends, and avoiding the attention of two very eligible bachelors—is tasked with judging the town pageant, which she won many years ago. But when the head judge is murdered and her cousin becomes a suspect, Lila must put aside everything to solve the case. I read this book almost straight through one night! This cozy mystery was well-paced, well-crafted, full of delicious food and the right amount of familial meddling. It tackled PTSD, therapy stigma, and a host of social issues without making the book feel heavy. I’ll definitely continue with this series.

What a Fab Sequel!
I adored Mia P. Manansala incredible debut, ARSENIC AND ADOBO, and was so excited to be asked by Berkley Publishing to review the fab sequel, HOMICIDE AND HALO-HALO. I found it richer in character development, as protagonist Lila heals from trauma as she works to open Brew-ha Cafe with friends, yet still "cozy" in nature with a compelling mystery I could not guess. Was so glad to catch-up with Lila's crazy lovable family and drool again over lush descriptions of Filipino cuisine. A delicious winner out Feb 8. Thanks to the author, Berkley Publishing Group, Berkley, and NetGalley for the ARC; opinions are mine. #HomicideandHaloHalo #NetGalley

Cozy Mystery
This is a Cozy Mystery series, and this is the second book in the Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mystery series. I have to say I really enjoyed the beginning of this book, but then it got super boring. It just could not hold my attention of any amount of time, so I kept having to re-read the same parts. I ended up DNFing this book just after the 50% mark of this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
