Latina sleuth and culinary master Miriam Quiñones-Smith is cooking up a storm in the fourth installment of the Caribbean Kitchen mystery series. It’s been three years since food anthropologist and cooking show star Miriam Quiñones-Smith had her last brush with death. Her Spanglish culinary show, Abuela Approved, is topping the charts. Her parents are back in Miami and living with her in Coral Shores. And her kids are great. But when bones start popping up in unexpected places, Miriam’s idyllic life is threatened.
Dru’s Short Musing:
This was a well-written whodunit that I could not put down until all was said and done.
Things are looking up for the Smith family, that is until the excavation of bones rain on their parade. Another threat is afoot and it’s up to Miriam to figure out what is going on. The author did a very good job in presenting this mystery with a puzzling situation with bones and whatnots and clues melted into the finely tuned storyline. The eclectic cast of characters, the engaging dialogue (love the Spanglish), and the narrative that was visually descriptive put me in the middle of all the action. It was a joy to see that the kids have aged and her parents living with them and their roles in the telling of this tale. This was a fun read and overall, a delightfully charming tale and one of the best in the series.
