Mystery
writer Raquel V. Reyes plunges a lovable, quick-witted Cuban-American
amateur sleuth deep into hot water in her fun, first cozy mystery novel, Mango,
Mambo, and Murder.
Miriam Quinones-Smith, an academic-turned-food
anthropologist-turned-cooking expert on a Spanish-language morning TV program,
moves from New York City to Miami with her restless husband and adorable young
son. When her best friend, Alma, drags her to a Women’s club luncheon, a
socialite at the event face-dives into a pile of chicken salad…and dies. When
another woman dies soon thereafter, all hell breaks loose. Miriam’s curious
mind and meddling sweeps her into an investigation that delves into the Miami
social scene and soon upends her life—and the lives of those she loves. Can her
amateur super-sleuthing figure a way out of--and solve--the mayhem?
Reyes delivers a fast-paced, spicy
debut--replete with rich details of Cuban-American culture--that will satiate
the appetites of foodies and cozy mystery lovers alike.
