A review by bookgramer_
Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala

4.0

This book is described as a Cozy Mystery, and honestly there's no better way to describe this book!
Unlike other thrillers and mysteries that leave you feeling anxious and exhilarated (both feelings that I love, hence the eternal love of thrillers), this one works at it's own pace without being too in your face.

A&A was really well-written, and my amazing buddy-reader @charliethereader and I just flew through it! There were moments of dark comedy that had me chuckling. It did get a little repetitive towards the middle, and I had chucked off half a star from my current rating.

This book gave me hunger pangs with all the delicious Filipino dishes mentioned, especially the desserts! So I was pleasantly surprised to find that the author had included some of the recipes mentioned in the book at the end (and the reason I increased half a star)!!! Can't wait to try atleast one of the scrumptious Filipino recipes
