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.","format",{"_30":24,"_44":118,"_119":120,"_121":53},"publisher","Minotaur Books","page_count",288,"duration","published_date","December 26, 2023","pub_date","December 26","isbn","9781250839084","asin","1250839084","hex_code","#f69427","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/7960i/84ee13f3-0629-4229-9b22-a414daa5821b/1788877956.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F7960i%2F84ee13f3-0629-4229-9b22-a414daa5821b%2F1788877956.jpg","Paperback","type","print","audio","order",{"_30":124,"_44":125,"_48":126,"_127":-5,"_128":-5,"_33":34,"_129":130,"_131":62},"b65d736a-fd70-4705-ba42-0a00cfc940e1","Olivia Matthews","1391-olivia-matthews","biography","image","roles",[132],"in_catalog","author","5951c8de-fa79-4902-9c3f-8c5bf0977701",7958,2,"3.25",[],[158],"Hard Dough Homicide","d613a347-40c8-4cc9-aa87-4444a6e62dc3",{"_11":32,"_30":31,"_122":135},"May 2023","2023-05-23","8120-hard-dough-homicide","Someone in Brooklyn’s Little Caribbean neighborhood has an appetite for murder in Olivia Matthews' Hard Dough Homicide .

Spice Isle Bakery owner Lyndsay Murray is always looking for new ways to grow her family’s business. But she already regrets agreeing to host the retirement dinner for local high school principal Emily Smith. The tyrant used to be her mother's boss and they did not get along. Six guests arrive for the celebration, but only five survive. Emily starts convulsing―right after eating the curry chicken―and dies soon after. It’s not long before the police are knocking on Spice Isle’s door, bringing the Murray family back into the heart of another murder investigation―driving away customers in the process. Lyndsay can't help but wonder if this is the end of the bakery, even though it's just begun. She must put aside her reservations about investigating another crime, because the Murrays refuse to go down without a fight.",{"_30":24,"_44":118,"_119":120,"_121":53},"St. Martin's Paperbacks",304,"May 23, 2023","May 23","9781250839060","1250839068","#59b8b9",[],[],"https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/7958i/d613a347-40c8-4cc9-aa87-4444a6e62dc3/1788877933.jpg","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F7958i%2Fd613a347-40c8-4cc9-aa87-4444a6e62dc3%2F1788877933.jpg",{"_30":124,"_44":125,"_48":126,"_127":-5,"_128":-5,"_33":34,"_129":159,"_131":62},[132],"98d4b836-2f05-446f-a27f-b9c9503de1f7",7956,"3.75",[],[182],"Against the Currant","3f411b75-f0da-4744-b14d-08dc59e33449",{"_11":32,"_30":31,"_122":24},"Jan 2023","2023-01-24","8118-against-the-currant","In Olivia Matthews's Against the Currant , the first Spice Isle Bakery Mystery, investigating a murder was never supposed to be on the menu…

Little Caribbean, Brooklyn, New Lyndsay Murray is opening Spice Isle Bakery with her family, and it’s everything she’s ever wanted. The West Indian bakery is her way to give back to the community she loves, stay connected to her Grenadian roots, and work side-by-side with her family. The only thing getting a rise out of Lyndsay is Claudio Fabrizi, a disgruntled fellow bakery owner who does not want any competition.

On opening day, he comes into the bakery threatening to shut them down. Fed up, Lyndsay takes him to task in front of what seems to be the whole neighborhood. So when Claudio turns up dead a day later―murdered―Lyndsay is unfortunately the prime suspect. To get the scent of suspicion off her and her bakery, Lyndsay has to prove she’s innocent―under the watchful eyes of her overprotective brother, anxious parents, and meddlesome extended family―what could go wrong?",{"_30":24,"_44":118,"_119":120,"_121":53},"January 24, 2023","January 24","9781250839046","1250839041","#f2e7ca",[],[],"https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/7956i/3f411b75-f0da-4744-b14d-08dc59e33449/1788877911.jpg","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F7956i%2F3f411b75-f0da-4744-b14d-08dc59e33449%2F1788877911.jpg",{"_30":124,"_44":125,"_48":126,"_127":-5,"_128":-5,"_33":34,"_129":183,"_131":62},[132],{"_44":125,"_127":-5,"_48":126,"_30":124,"_187":56,"_188":53,"_189":-5,"_190":56,"_191":56,"_33":34,"_192":-5,"_193":53,"_194":195,"_128":-5,"_196":-5,"_197":198,"_40":199},"ogImageUrl","https://img-cdn.blackauthored.com/api/authors?description=Books+In+Order&title=Olivia+Matthews&token=2b3cc885e2ddf0a24dea00dfc1754c5deb2a0df67818e1ec293e3567ba6b42fb","catalogs_count","verified","account_id","universes_count","followers_count","website_url","indie","user_progress",{"_200":56,"_201":34,"_202":56},"date_of_birth","social_links",{},[],"read","total","percentage","isLoggedIn",["P",204],"result","seo",{"_11":214,"_215":216,"_13":217,"_218":219,"_50":220,"_221":222,"_223":224},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_238":53,"_239":53},"jsonLd",{"_225":226,"_227":228,"_44":214,"_229":230,"_231":232,"_50":220},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[233,234,235,236,237],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
