The Lime and the Dead

By Summer Prescott

Lights. Camera. Murder.
Recipe Included
Life in Key West is usually sweet for Marilyn Hayes, owner of SubLime Sweets and creator of the island's most beloved Key Lime pies.
When a reality television producer approaches Marilyn about featuring her pie shop on a hit TV show, she isn't convinced it's a good idea. But after her daughter, Tiara, points out the publicity could bring in a flood of new customers, Marilyn reluctantly agrees to welcome the cameras.
What could possibly go wrong?
Plenty.
Before filming is over, Tiara finds herself in a heated confrontation with one of the show's larger-than-life celebrities. Tempers flare, accusations fly, and the drama spills far beyond the television cameras.
Then someone winds up dead.
As investigators descend on the island, Marilyn quickly discovers that nearly everyone involved with the production had a reason to dislike the victim. Unfortunately, Tiara's very public argument places her squarely on the suspect list.
Determined to protect her daughter and uncover the truth, Marilyn begins digging into the lives of the cast and crew. Between secret alliances, hidden agendas, reality-show rivalries, and a mysterious new neighbor who seems a little too interested in her life, Marilyn soon realizes that nothing is quite what it appears.
With danger lurking behind the scenes and the killer still at large, Marilyn must separate fact from fiction before the wrong person is arrested.
Can she solve the murder before Tiara's future is ruined?
Or will this reality-show nightmare become all too real?
A charming culinary cozy mystery featuring a determined amateur sleuth, delicious recipes, tropical Key West charm, quirky characters, and a twist-filled whodunit that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Perfect for fans of culinary cozy mysteries, beach-town mysteries, women sleuths, clean cozy mysteries, and small-town murder investigations.
