Reputation on the line. Murder in the mix.
In a town where gossip travels faster than the tides, murder is the freshest item on the menu...
Sal Jones has dedicated her life to Just For You Bakery, proudly serving up Cedar Key's best key lime pies and keeping her late father's dream alive. But her peaceful world crumbles when a famously harsh food critic dies after tasting Sal's prized dessert-right there in her bakery.
The verdict? Poison.
Suddenly, her bakery is a crime scene, Sal is the prime suspect, and the only recipe she's working on now is for clearing her name. With her business crumbling and the community turning cold, Sal must swap her apron for a detective's hat.
Armed with sharp instincts, daring, and a knack for noticing details, she unravels secrets hidden beneath the town's charming fa ade. Everyone had a reason to resent Victoria Hoogstraten-but only one had the means to turn dessert into a deadly dish.
As the clues pile up and the suspect list rises, Sal must sift through lies, jealousy, and old vendettas before the killer strikes again. In Cedar Key, even the sweetest slice can have a sinister bite.
