I learned that K.C. Ames was born and raised in Costa Rica and now lives with her family in San Francisco, CA. Her father was an American (from Minnesota) and her mother is from Costa Rica. The cozy mystery series is set in the beautiful Guanacaste Province. Returning to Costa Rica for family visits also inspires each new mystery the author writes. I definitely felt that special touch of authenticity as I was reading the novel and I'm so delighted it's the opening of a series. Reading a novel with a beach setting is a joy at any time of year but especially soothes the soul in the midst of winter in the northeast even though it's been fairly mild so far this year. To think of walking to town via the beach and wearing flip flops every day certainly set the stage in my mind as I turned each page.
For all who delight in learning of the delicious fare in different settings will surely be attentive to the breakfast, lunch, treats, and dinners Dana and Courtney savor as they explore the beach town of Mariposa Beach and the surrounding area and during meetings with Benny Campos, Dana's Costa Rican lawyer. For those interested in the recipes, be sure to visit the author's website for a free download of, "A Cookbook to Die For" at https://kcames.com/recipes/ The author advises,
"A collection of typical Costa Rican dishes that are to die for! Several of the recipes were provided by my 86-year-old Mother who still lives in Costa Rica and loves to cook."
I can't wait to read more of Dana's adventures in her new home town! (
