Death Comes in Through the Kitchen by Teresa Dovalpage - Book Tour
Death
Comes in through the Kitchen
Set in Havana during the Black Spring of
2003, a charming but poison-laced culinary mystery reveals the darker side of
the modern Revolution, complete with authentic Cuban recipes
Havana, Cuba, 2003: Matt, a San Diego
journalist, arrives in Havana to marry his girlfriend, Yarmila, a 24-year-old
Cuban woman whom he first met through her food blog. But Yarmi isn’t there to
meet him at the airport, and when he hitches a ride to her apartment, he finds
her lying dead in the bathtub.
With Yarmi’s murder, lovelorn Matt is
immediately embroiled in a Cuban adventure he didn’t bargain for. The police
and secret service have him down as their main suspect, and in an effort to
clear his name, he must embark on his own investigation into what really
happened. The more Matt learns about his erstwhile fiancée, though, the more he
realizes he had no idea who she was at all—but did anyone?
