Lime and Punishment

Former celebrity chef Jackie Norwood heads to the Maverick Key Lime Festival in the Florida Keys expecting sunshine, sweets, and maybe a little music—not her former high school band teacher at the center of a murder investigation.

Two local bar owners have already been found dead, and her former teacher is topping the suspect list.

Between judging dessert contests, managing her growing online cooking channel, and finding that not everyone in the Keys is as sweet as Key lime pie, Jackie must tune into the island's rhythm of lies, rivalries, and retribution.

Fans of culinary cozies and tropical twists will savor Lime & Punishment—a deliciously tart tale of sweet treats, sour motives, and one chef who just can't seem to stay out of hot water.
