Margaritas, spicy guacamoleâand murderâare among this yearâs preparations for Cinco de Mayo in this âdelectable new mystery seriesâ (Kate Carlisle, New York Timesâbestselling author).
Tres Amigas CafÃĐ chef Rita Lafitte is busy baking her green chile soufflÃĐs and chocolate flans for Cinco de Mayo. If only her friend Linda, the daughter of Ritaâs octogenarian boss Flori, could get into the festive spirit. Lindaâs cart, Tia Tamales, is losing business to Crepe Empire, the hottest food cart in Santa Fe. Napoleon, Crepe Empireâs owner, is a pompous, celebrity chef who wants to squeeze out the competition. But when Linda gets into a heated argument with Napoleon and his corpse is later found stabbed and pinned beneath the wheels of her tamale cart, she becomes the number one suspect.
Determined to prove Lindaâs innocence, Rita investigates. From Napoleonâs disgruntled former employees to a shady health inspector, the list of suspects is longer than Floriâs strings of dried chili peppers. And when another corpse surfaces, Rita must scramble to find an elusive killer with an appetite for murder . . .
