A Bad Review Can Hurt Your Business...
A Missing Critic Can Ruin Your Life.
Recipe Included
For Marilyn Hayes, owner of SubLime Sweets, a glowing review from a nationally known food blogger could be the opportunity of a lifetime. The exposure would put her cozy Key West pie shop on the map, bringing new customers from across the country and helping her business reach heights she never imagined.
But the dream quickly turns into a nightmare.
When the influential reviewer arrives, Marilyn discovers that his reputation isn't built on talent-it's built on intimidation. His proposition is simple: provide him with free Key Lime pie for life, and he'll write a rave review. Refuse, and he'll use his platform to destroy everything she's worked so hard to build.
Marilyn may be many things, but she's not a pushover.
Determined to stand her ground, she publicly challenges the blogger, sparking a bitter online feud that quickly becomes the talk of Key West.
Then the reviewer vanishes.
With no shortage of witnesses to their very public battle, Marilyn suddenly finds herself at the center of a missing-person investigation. As rumors spread and suspicion mounts, customers begin staying away, threatening both her reputation and her livelihood.
Desperate to clear her name, Marilyn launches her own investigation. The deeper she digs, the more enemies she discovers the blogger had collected over the years. From ruined businesses and shattered careers to betrayed friendships and hidden secrets, plenty of people had reasons to want him gone.
But when Marilyn uncovers evidence that suggests the disappearance may be far more sinister than anyone imagined, she realizes she's hunting someone willing to do whatever it takes to keep the truth hidden.
Can Marilyn find the missing reviewer before the police decide she's guilty?
Or will one man's quest for validation cost her everything?
A delightful culinary cozy mystery packed with tropical Key West charm, amateur sleuthing, quirky characters, delicious desserts, and a twist-filled mystery that will keep you guessing until the final page.
Perfect for fans of culinary cozy mysteries, women sleuths, beach-town mysteries, foodie fiction, and clean whodunits.
