Arsenic and Adobo by Mia P. Manansala

Summary: "When Lila Macapagal moves back home to recover from a horrible breakup, her life seems to be following all the typical rom-com tropes. She's tasked with saving her Tita Rosie's failing restaurant, and she has to deal with a group of matchmaking aunties who shower her with love and judgment. But when a notoriously nasty food critic (who happens to be her ex-boyfriend) drops dead moments after a confrontation with Lila, her life quickly swerves from a Nora Ephron romp to an Agatha Christie case."

I enjoyed this! I appreciated the Midwestern setting and especially the diverse foods. 

I wanted a bit more out of the mystery, and a bit more out of the non-existent romance. More Amir, please! Or, even more Dr. Jae!

But it was an impressive first novel for an author, and I may follow the series as it continues.
