On a morning like any other, beneath the heat of a Jamaican sun, love ripens into something bitter.
The morning began like any other beneath the blazing Jamaican sun fresh coffee brewing, laughter drifting through the house, and a traditional breakfast served at the family table.
Then someone died.
Alice Crowe-Horwathe, Jamaican born and an amateur sleuth at heart, never imagined she would be investigating a murder inside her own extended family. But when her aunt suddenly collapses after eating a dish of ackee, the household is quick to call it a tragic mistake.
Alice knows better.
Because every Jamaican knows one thing: unripe ackee can be deadly.
And someone in that house prepared it.
As grief spreads through the family home, so do secrets. Alice soon uncovers whispers of betrayal, her aunt's husband may not have been the devoted spouse he appeared to be. Rumors of infidelity begin to surface, and with them a chilling possibility: the death at breakfast may not have been an accident at all.
Determined to uncover the truth, Alice begins asking questions no one wants answered.
But in a house filled with secrets, simmering resentments, and hidden motives, everyone becomes a suspect.
Because beneath the warmth of the Caribbean sun, someone turned breakfast into murder.
And the truth may destroy the family forever.
