Cinco De Murder by Rebecca Adler

4.0

Cinco de Murder by Rebecca Adler was a wonderful, entertaining read about a journalist/waitress, Josie, her chihuahua, Lenny, her family and their restaurant, and a chili cook-off murder. The tale starts the day before the cook-off and follows our heroine through a festive Cinco de Mayo weekend that culminates in fireworks, a chase, and a kiss. Josie’s character acts mainly on spunkiness with a dash of trepidation. She is surrounded by a very loving group of family and friends who are supportive and hilarious. The two main men in the story add a nice dash of romance that creates a fun side plot. Lenny is a wonderful side-kick who’s tiny yips speak volumes. The story ends in a scary, thrilling trapped scene that grips the reader’s attention. I thoroughly adored this book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, spicy, cozy murder mystery read.
