A monthly discussion on crime novels featuring amateur sleuths, quirky characters and homey communities. This month’s novel is Mango, Mambo, and Murder by Raquel V. Reyes. Food anthropologist Miriam Quiñones-Smith's is the Caribbean cooking expert on a Spanish-language morning TV show. While attending 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.  As the ingredients to the deadly scheme begin blending together, Miriam is on the verge of learning how and why the women died.
