Coconut Drop Dead finds sleuth Lyndsay Murray investigating the death of a reggae singer to make sure the real killer faces the music.

It’s the opening day of Brooklyn’s annual Caribbean American Heritage Festival, and Spice Isle Bakery is thrilled to be one of the event’s food vendors. After all, the Murrays have been attending the festival for years. Co-owner Lyndsay Murray hopes their West Indian pastries and finger foods draw people back to the bakery in Little Caribbean. She’s looking forward to having fun, connecting with customers, and celebrating with her family. But when an up-and-coming reggae band’s lead singer dies, Lyndsay’s cousin asks for her help investigating the suspicious death. When the police then arrest the wrong person, Lyndsay can’t help but wonder if she’ll be able to catch a killer before the last note.
