When Miriam’s best friend and partner-in-crime, Alma, is framed for one of what turn out to be murders, Miriam determines to find the truth. Mango, Mambo, and Murder is the first in the Caribbean Kitchen mystery series, leaving readers anxious for a return visit with Miriam and the gang. Things are starting to look up for Miriam, until a socialite drops dead at a women’s club lunch she attends. Miriam is saved from the drudgery of her new life by an offer to contribute her Caribbean food expertise to a Spanish-language morning TV show. That prospect remains remote, however, since she moved from New York to Coral Shores, “a 1950s time-warped village within the city of Miami,” for her husband’s work and she decided to stay at home with her small son. Cuban American Miriam Quiñones-Smith, the spunky, resilient narrator of Reyes’s refreshing debut and series launch, wants nothing more than to finally finish her PhD in food anthropology.
