This was everything I wanted in a cozy and more!! The bakery being from a Caribbean family helped me learn about several new foods and provided a new spin on the bakery cozy. The family was so supportive and also protective. I loved how they interacted and supported each other. We have an opinionated grandma, a sassy cousin, and a kickboxing main character!
A couple piddly complaints- The police investigation was almost non-existent, but there is room for growth in the next book. The romantic possibilities are questionable, but again I can see room for growth in those characters.
A couple unique things- The main character did not find the body. I liked this! Also the main character will be competing in a kickboxing showcase/ tournament in the future. Lyndsey's experience with kickboxing really some depth to her character.
The audiobook narrator has a good light accent for some characters and a neutral accent for others. That helped add the some depth to the neighborhood. The audiobook also helped me pick up a few more clues that I didn't get on my first read.
This is an amazing beginning to a new series.
