Bookseller recommendation

“Shy baker and kick boxer Lyndsay opens a West Indian bakery in Brooklyn and has to defend herself from suspicion of murder- of another baker! A delightfully cozy mystery, with a wonderful family at its center. I loved the character development, the light (and bloodless) murder mystery and the warm, enveloping bakery vibes. And there are recipes! The narration was excellent, just the right amount of accent and tone. I have already ordered Spice Isle Bakery Mystery #2! ”
