Arsenic and Adobo

This cozy murder mystery series centers on an early 20s Lila Macapagal and her life back in her hometown as she helps her aunt run a Filipino restaurant and starts up a cafe with her two best friends.  In this book, Lila is arrested for the murder of her ex-boyfriend, a food critic who is poisoned while eating in her aunt's restaurant shortly after giving it a horrible review.  Lila must find out who the murderer is.  There is a lot of description of food and baked goods that gets old quickly.  I like that the main character doesn't have everything figured out and makes mistakes along the way, but I feel it is best suited for a reader in their late teens or early twenties.
