Lila’s hometown is inhabited by around 20,000 souls and it is an intriguing amalgam of families from many ethnic backgrounds. Much like Three Pines in Louise Penny’s novels, you won’t find the town on a map of Illinois, but you will swear that you have been there. While healing her wounds from a bad breakup, Lila Macapagal has moved back to the small town of Shady Palms, located somewhere south of Chicago, to assist her family of aging women who run Tita Rosie’s Kitchen. In the tradition of Agatha Christie, Mia Manansala’s debut novel has murder after murder, a large cast of suspects, an evil scheme and a police detective always one step behind the amateur sleuth.
