Murder and Mamon

Thank you Getredprbooks and Berkley for this gifted copy.

Mia Manansala always knows how to write an amusing story with a cast of entertaining characters and book 4 in the Tita Rosie's Kitchen cozy mystery series was a fun book to curl up with!

Lila Macapagal's godmothers April, Mae, and Juneโ€”AKA the Calendar Crewโ€”are celebrating the opening of their latest joint business venture, a new laundromat, to much fanfare (and controversy). However, what shouldโ€™ve been a joyous occasion quickly turns into a tragedy when they discover the building has been vandalizedโ€”and the body of Ninang Aprilโ€™s niece, recently arrived from the Philippines, next to a chilling message painted on the floor. The question is, was the message aimed at the victim or Lila's gossipy godmothers, who have not-so-squeaky-clean reputations?

With Ninang April falling apart from grief and little progress from the Shady Palms Police Department in this slippery case, itโ€™s up to Lila and her network to find justice for the young woman.

The Calendar Crew have stuck their noses into everybodyโ€™s business for years, but now the tables are turned as Lila must pry into the Calendar Crewโ€™s lives to figure out who has a vendetta against the (extremely opinionated yet loving) aunties and stop them before they strike again.
