When NetGalley released a list of Read Now cozy mysteries, Against the Currant was one that I jumped on!  The first in the Spice Isle Bakery series, Lyndsay must figure out who killed her competition before she gets blamed for it!

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the gifted ebook! All opinions in this review are my own.

To start, I love that this series is set in a West Indian bakery in Brooklyn!  Lately I have been reading cozy mysteries set in small towns, so this was a refreshing change!

While I felt like it did take a little while for Lyndsay to start trying to solve the mystery, it fits with the fact that this is the first book in the series.  She is not just going to start chasing after a murderer immediately.  Lyndsay's reaction to being framed made the mystery more realistic. Plus, by not jumping right into trying to solve the mystery, it gave us time to get to know her family more and I loved their interactions!

Needless to say, I will be reading the second book and I'm excited to see where this series goes!
