Blackmail and Bibingka, published on October 4, 2022, is the third book of Tita Rosie's Kitchen Mysteries by Mia P. Manansala.As Shady Palms prepares for the winter bash, Lila's estranged cousin Ronnie returns after fifteen years of absence, hoping to bring life to the Shady Palms Winery with his friends. Lila and Lola Flor are skeptical about his return, but Tita Rosie greets him with open arms. Then Tita Rosie gets an email threatening to reveal Ronnie's crimes in Florida if she doesn't pay $50,000, so she and Lila pay the winery a surprise visit to see if something is going on. During the visit, one of the investors passes out after drinking a lambanog that Ronnie gave her. She dies in the hospital, and Ronnie's group is suspected for murder. As much as Lila distrusts Ronnie, she has to set out to prove he isn't the killer, if only for Tita Rosie's sake.This page may contain unmarked spoilers for Arsenic And Adobo and Homicide And Halo-Halo.

Reformed, but Rejected
 Blackmail And Bibingka / int_1c5599e4
comment
Reformed, but Rejected: Ronnie claims he waited to come back until he had something to show for his 15-year disappearance. While his mother greets him with open arms, Lila and Lola Flor are far more skeptical about whether he really changed.

Beneath Suspicion
 Blackmail And Bibingka / int_23c132d9
comment
Beneath Suspicion: The killers turn out to be the people Lila overlooks. She strongly suspects Izzy for blackmail but thinks Pete is boring. Likewise, she suspects both Xavier and Quentin due to their strained relationship but pays no mind to Olivia. It turns out Pete and Olivia were the killers.

Inheritance Murder
 Blackmail And Bibingka / int_3437ee2c
comment
Inheritance Murder: Denise's late husband left everything to her and nothing to his children, which is a strong motive for her murder. There was a clause that his assets would default to his children if Denise died without an heir, so she had to be killed before she could marry Xander.

Love Forgives All but Lust: Downplayed; once the culprits are caught red-handed, Izzy denounces Pete for his infidelity before Olivia points out that he has committed far worse deeds.

Gaydar: Quentin tells Lila that her gaydar needs work when she accuses him of having an affair with his stepmother; she couldn't tell he was gay despite working with a lesbian couple.

Never Suicide

comment
Never Suicide: While both victims survive, they were clearly made to look like they overdosed and committed suicide, respectively. Quentin is only rendered comatose, and Ronnie is saved when Izzy catches Pete and Olivia in the act.

Implausible Deniability: The culprits provide a flimsy explanation for the final crime scene. Pete claims that Ronnie attacked him and he struck back in self-defense, but Izzy points out that there's no blood on the supposed weapon. She then finds a suicide note, and the jig is up.
