FIRST LINE FRIDAY

Happy Friday & welcome to First Line Friday! It’s time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line(s). Today I am featuring a cozy mystery publishing December 26 that I look forward to reading. I think this is the third in the series and I haven’t read any of them yet.

And this first lines are:

“Will we see you and Benny at the festival, Tanya?” My grandmother, Genevieve Bain sat at her dark wood folding table in Spice Isle Bakery, our family- owned business, early Friday morning.

ABOUT THE BOOK

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.
