My Summary:
Lila moves home to recover from a breakup and to help save the family restaurant. In addition, to serving up some delicious food and enduring the interference of three interfering and opinionated aunties, Lila’s ex boyfriend and food critic drops dead while eating one of Lila’s dessert creations at the family restaurant. Lila becomes a prime suspect and their landlord threatens to kick the family out. Out of desperation and with great determination, Lila sets out on her own investigation with the help of her best friend. For fans of romcom, there’s also a romantic triangle brewing. This is the first book in a cozy mystery series.

Thanks for the reminder about this one, Carol. When I read your original review, I added it to my TBR, but then forgot about it. I just requested it from my library.
Enjoy! It’s the first in a series but I haven’t read the next installments.
My library has all three, I looked, so if I like this one, I can read the next two.
