Adding to her funk is an opinionated mother-in-law and a husband rekindling a friendship with his ex. Gracias to her best friend, Alma, she gets a short-term job as a Caribbean cooking expert on a Spanish-language morning TV show. But when the newly minted star attends a Women's Club luncheon, a socialite sitting at her table suddenly falls face-first into the chicken salad, never to nibble again. When a second woman dies soon after, suspicions coalesce around a controversial Cuban herbalist, Dr. Fuentes--especially after the morning show's host collapses while interviewing him. Detective Pullman is not happy to find Miriam at every turn. After he catches her breaking into the doctor's apothecary, he enlists her help as eyes and ears to the places he can't access, namely the Spanish-speaking community and the tawny Coral Shores social scene. As the ingredients to the deadly scheme begin blending together, Miriam is on the verge of learning how and why the women died. But her snooping may turn out to be a recipe for her own murder"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Cuban American women|vFiction. 650 0 Television cooking shows|vFiction. 650 0 Murder|xInvestigation|vFiction. 651 0 Miami (Fla.)|vFiction. 655 7 Cozy mysteries.|2lcgft 655 7 Detective and mystery fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft 655 7 Large type books.|2local 800 1 Reyes, Raquel V.|tCaribbean kitchen mystery ;|v01. 830 0 Thorndike Press large print mystery series.
