Key West Culinary Cozy by Summer Prescott takes the cozy mystery formula to the Florida Keys, with lime serving as the culinary theme. The eight books run from A Lime to Kill (2015) through Live and Lime Die (2020), with titles like Key Lime Die, The Lime and the Dead, and Death, Limes, and Videotape.
The lime-based wordplay in every title gives the series a consistent sense of humor. A Lime to Kill launched the series in 2015, and after a five-year gap the remaining seven books came out in rapid succession during 2020. That burst of releases means readers who start the series will not have to wait between installments.
Prescott is a prolific cozy mystery author with several other culinary-themed series to her name. Fans of food-focused cozies set in warm-weather locations will feel at home here, and the short, breezy books are designed for quick reading.
