Spice Isle Bakery owner Lyndsay Murray is always looking for new ways to grow her family’s business. But she 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. Emily starts convulsing after eating the curry chicken and dies soon after. It’s not long before the Murray family are back into the heart of another murder investigation, losing customers in the process. Lyndsay must put aside her reservations about investigating another crime, because the Murrays refuse to go down without a fight.
This was a really good culinary cozy mystery that made me hungry at times. I love the characters, and Lyndsey is a great reluctant amateur sleuth. I couldn't figure out the identity of the murderer and was surprised in the end. The one thing that took me out of the story was when the author used the phrase “kissed her teeth” throughout the book. I counted at least 8 times a character in this story did that. It became very annoying. Otherwise, this book would've gotten 5 stars. Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for the opportunity of reading this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
