The excerpts are from the E-ARC. I loved the first two books in this series. This week I'm reading...
Book Beginnings
"Will we see you and Benny at the festival, Tanya?" My maternal grandmother, Genevieve Bain, sat at her dark wood folding table in Spice Isle Bakery, our family-owned business, early Friday morning. Her table stood between our customer service counter and the kitchen door, the busiest spot in the shop.
From 56% on my e-reader.
I had to think fast again. I needed to protect my sources, even if the source was a suspect in Camille's murder.
Synopsis from Goodreads:
The case in Olivia Matthews's Coconut Drop Dead is going to be a tough nut to crack.
Brooklyn’s annual Caribbean American Heritage Festival is finally here, and Spice Isle Bakery is thrilled to be one of the event’s food vendors. After all, the Murrays have been attending the festival for years. Co-owner Lyndsay Murray hopes their West Indian pastries and finger foods draw people back to the bakery in Little Caribbean. She’s looking forward to having fun, connecting with customers, and celebrating with her family.
The day's festivities are cut short when Camille, lead singer of an up-and-coming reggae band, dies. The police think it may be a tragic accident. But Lyndsay’s cousin Manny was close to Camille, and he believes someone cut her life short. Now Manny needs Lyndsay’s help to make sure a killer faces the music.
What do you think? What are you sharing today?
This sounds like a good setting for a mystery. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
I liked this one too. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAh, it's always hard to convince the police, isn't it.
ReplyDeleteThis was so good though I do wish Lynds was a bit kinder to Bryce.
