Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this book!
What a great book!! I always enjoy Raquel Reyes books! I always finish them in one sitting and this one was no different. She has amazing writing style!! This one is a YESSS for me.
I loved this next installment in the Caribbean Kitchen Mystery series. It’s always fun seeing what Miriam is up to and following along with her family and friends. They are a great cast of characters.
I also love that the Raquel V Reyes effectively wove together two different mysteries. The consistent exploration of the cuisines of different cultures is something that keeps me interested in this series too.
I can see how the use of Spanglish may be hard for some to follow, but I enjoy it, and I find it important in creating the atmosphere in the book. The narrator did a fantastic job too!
Thank you to #NetGalley and #DreamscapeMedia for an ALC in exchange for an honest review. I can’t wait for the next installment!
This one was not for me. The storyline didn’t flow well and I could not connect with the characters.

The thing that always catches my eye and makes me want to read a murder mystery is either a catchy title or having an animal/food on the cover. This book had both, so I instantly wanted to read it! Something interesting that I actually enjoyed about this book, is that there are multiple mysteries going on. Another aspect that was a bit different from other mysteries, was that the first body was not a body, but a set of bones.
This story takes place in Miami, Florida. Miriam is the main character and her family has come to live with her. Her family members are so fun and vibrant and it made reading about them enjoyable. I personally loved the mix of Spanglish in the book and I was quite surprised with how much Spanish I actually remembered. Another aspect about this book that I loved was the food. Miriam is a cook, so it was nice hearing about all of her dishes or meals that her family was having.
Thank you to Netgalley, Dreamscape Media, and Raquel V. Reyes for an ARC of this audiobook. This review is my own honest opinion.
A lot has changed for Miriam Quinonas Smith. Her parents have moved in, her mother in law had moved on or at least been temporarily exiled from the family,, and her business projects are thriving. She hasn’t had any life and death moment in over 3 years. Her husband Robert’s hotel project has been riddled with delays. Bad quickly moves to worse when skeletal remains are unearthed at the hotel site. Are they part of an archeological find or something more sinister? To protect her family Miriam with a cast of loveable characters seek to discover the truth. Spoiler alert there are a couple of mysteries running simultaneously with the original storyline, but you won’t mind one bit. Great story and I look forward to reading more from the author. Thank you for the ARC. .
