Death at a beauty pageant turns Tita Rosie's Kitchen upside down in the latest entry of this witty and humorous cozy mystery series by Mia P. Manansala.
Things are heating up for Lila Macapagal. Not in her love life, which she insists on keeping nonexistent despite the attention of two very eligible bachelors. Or her professional life, since she can't bring herself to open her new café after the unpleasantness that occurred a few months ago at her aunt's Filipino restaurant, Tita Rosie's Kitchen. No, things are heating up quite literally, since summer, her least favorite season, has just started.
To add to her feelings of sticky unease, Lila's little town of Shady Palms has resurrected the Miss Teen Shady Palms Beauty Pageant, which she won many years ago—a fact that serves as a wedge between Lila and her cousin slash rival, Bernadette. But when the head judge of the pageant is murdered and Bernadette becomes the main suspect, the two must put aside their differences and solve the case—because it looks like one of them might be next.

      Narrator Danice Cabanela's energetic voice brings listeners back to Shady Palms in this second delicious installment of the Tita Rosie's Kitchen cozy mystery series. Lila Macapagal is still recovering from her recent entanglement in a murder at her family's Filipino restaurant. Cabanela's empathetic narration conveys all of Lila's anxieties and uncertainties as she balances opening a new caf�, judging her town's teen beauty pageant, possible romantic relationships--and unaddressed trauma. When a creepy fellow pageant judge is murdered and her cousin is implicated, Lila and her nosy aunties investigate, serving up plenty of mouthwatering dishes to help get possible suspects talking. Cabanela's dynamic narration captures the fun of the story. The audio includes a Filipino glossary and tempting recipes to cook while listening. E.E.C. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
