I Read a Book Once

OwlTail

After searching tirelessly for months, I finally found a copy of Blackmail and Bibingka by Mia P Manansala. This cozy mystery follows Lila as her untrustworthy cousin Ronnie moves back into town and becomes a murder suspect. I talk about my difficulty finding this book, discuss the guessability of this mystery, and wonder where the heck Jae was in this book.

When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. She's tasked with saving her Tita Rosie's failing restaurant and has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case.  With the cops treating her like she's the one and only suspect, and the shady landlord looking to finally kick the Macapagal family out and resell the storefront, Lila's left with no choice but to conduct her own investigation. Armed with the nosy auntie network, her barista best bud, and her trusted Dachshund, Longganisa, Lila takes on this tasty, twisted case and soon finds her own neck on the chopping block… ​ Content Warning: fatphobia, drug abuse, evidence planting, police intimidation, (implied) domestic violence, racism   Get your own Read Between the Lines T-Shirt, Mug, Mask, and more at our Tee Public Shop. https://bit.ly/3u4zkk9 Please be sure to rate us and review this episode wherever you listen to podcasts.  It really helps other people find us.    Follow the show on Instagram at readbetweenthelinespodcast Follow our parent network on Twitter at @SMGPods Make sure to follow SMG on Facebook too at @SouthgateMediaGroup Learn more, subscribe, or contact Southgate Media Group at www.southgatemediagroup.com.   Check out our webpage at southgatemediagroup.com/readbwetweenthelines

Mia P Manansala discusses her new book, "Arsenic & Adobo"

It's time to celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with Mia P. Manansala's debut novel Arsenic and Adobo. When Lila came home to help out in her aunt's Filipino restaurant she wasn't expecting her ex-boyfriend to die while eating their food or to become the number one suspect. I go on a really long tangent about how to pronounce the name Lila, express my new found love of cozy mystery novels, and talk about Lila's characterization.
