booktribe 's review for:
Against the Currant
by Olivia Matthews
lighthearted
mysterious
medium-paced
On Lindsay Murray’s first day opening up her Caribbean bakery, a rude fellow bakery owner comes into her establishment causing problems. Lyndsay and he get into a big argument in front of lots of customers. The next day, he’s dead. And Lyndsay is the chief suspect. Now she must work to prove her innocence, and potentially find the real killer!
I really enjoyed this cozy mystery! It had interesting characters, I really enjoyed Lyndsay and her whole family! The mystery kept me guessing. And I loved the infusion of Grenadian culture!
The only thing I didn’t like about the story was that I couldn’t keep up with all the side characters & suspects. I got names and backstories mixed up frequently. While I’m writing this review, even though I just finished the book a few minutes ago, I couldn’t tell you half of the side characters’ names. Maybe having a character list in the book would help. Or just making the characters names different enough to where I can’t get them confused.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait till more books in the series come out!
