HOMICIDE AND HALO-HALO Tita Rosie's Kitchen, Book 2

Narrator Danice Cabanela's energetic voice brings listeners back to Shady Palms in this second delicious installment of the Tita Rosie's Kitchen cozy mystery series. Lila Macapagal is still recovering from her recent entanglement in a murder at her family's Filipino restaurant. Cabanela's empathetic narration conveys all of Lila's anxieties and uncertainties as she balances opening a new café, judging her town's teen beauty pageant, possible romantic relationships--and unaddressed trauma. When a creepy fellow pageant judge is murdered and her cousin is implicated, Lila and her nosy aunties investigate, serving up plenty of mouthwatering dishes to help get possible suspects talking. Cabanela's dynamic narration captures the fun of the story. The audio includes a Filipino glossary and tempting recipes to cook while listening.
