About
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A Mystery of Caribbean Secrets, Cold-Case Lies, and Murder
A Deadly Secret Surfaces Before the First Dish Is Served…
Eastern College's first winter intersession brings administrator Steve Levitan to the Friar Lake Conference Center, where a Caribbean cuisine course is about to begin. His wife, Lili, is co-teaching alongside her old friend Dr. Yesenia Ubeda, a celebrated-and sometimes controversial-food anthropologist.
But before the class can settle in, unsettling events interrupt the program:
Threatening notes left for Yesenia
Long-hidden documents tied to U.S.–Cuba history
A student with a dangerous secret, found murdered
What should have been an exciting educational program quickly becomes a deadly puzzle.
Old Loyalties Hide New Lies
Steve soon realizes that someone at Friar Lake will kill to protect-or destroy-Yesenia's reputation.
Every attendee seems to have a motive, from academic grudges to political agendas.
And the deeper Steve digs, the more the past comes roaring back.
With Rochester at his side, Steve must:
Navigate a tangle of academic rivalries and historical resentment
Uncover why a student joined the course under false pretenses
Protect Lili and Yesenia as tensions rise
Expose a killer who has carefully hidden in plain sight
The walls of Friar Lake contain secrets people have been guarding for decades-and now one of them has turned deadly.

Cozy mysteries with smart, twisty plots
Academic and conference-center settings (Paige Shelton, Maggie Barbieri)
Culinary intrigue and food-driven storytelling
Faithful canine partners (Spencer Quinn, David Rosenfelt)
