Now out: Coconut Drop Dead

I love that this cozy/traditional mystery takes place in Brooklyn. So often books in this genre take place in small Midwest locales. What fun to be in an urban setting and still have a good story and one without excessive violence.

This book is part of the Spice Isle series, one of, but not the only, series by this author. It features Lyndsay, a woman who runs a delicious Caribbean bakery. She is excited about her pastries and a big, upcoming festival. All should be perfect except, of course, there is a murder; a reggae singer is killed. Readers will have fun (and be hungry) as they wait for the pieces to fall into place in this enjoyable read.

Many thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press/Minotaur for this title. All opinions are my own.

Four stars ****
