Food anthropologist Miriam Quiñones-Smith's move from New York to Coral Shores, Miami, puts her academic career on hold to stay at home with her young son. Adding to her funk is an opinionated mother-in-law and a husband rekindling a friendship with his ex. Gracias to her best friend, Alma, she gets a short-term job as a Caribbean cooking expert on a Spanish-language morning TV show. But when the newly minted star attends a Women's Club luncheon, a socialite sitting at her table suddenly falls face-first into the chicken salad, never to nibble again.

When a second woman dies soon after, suspicions coalesce around a controversial Cuban herbalist, Dr. Fuentes - especially after the morning show's host collapses while interviewing him. Detective Pullman is not happy to find Miriam at every turn. After he catches her breaking into the doctor's apothecary, he enlists her help as eyes and ears to the places he can't access, namely the Spanish-speaking community and the tawny Coral Shores social scene.

As the ingredients to the deadly scheme begin blending together, Miriam is on the verge of learning how and why the women died. But her snooping may turn out to be a recipe for her own murder.

It was difficult to understand the Spanish dialogue. The plot and intrigue was well thought out with a good caste of characters. Unsure if I will buy the next book as the Spanish was a bit much for me but I can see how it is integral to most of the story.

A good plot and well narrated but

I usually listen to a cosy mystery during the night to help with insomnia but enjoyed it enough to listen in the daytime. The plot is developed and the narrator good BUT throughout there are exchanges between characters in Spanish ( which I don’t understand) - obviously this isn’t a deep plot so I could work out what the gist was most of the time. Occasionally it was a bit annoying. My reservation about moving onto the next book is that there is likely to be more and more of this language barrier because this story line has introduced lots of new cuban relatives and friends. Otherwise go for it…

Enjoyed this cosy mystery but….
