Love, Spies, and a Body in the Kitchen
(2026)(The fourth book in the Mallory Hemingway series)
A novel by Kimberly Griggs
Family drama, political scandal, and a dash of international espionage… Mallory Hemingway’s hard-earned new life just went up in flames.
When her parents land on her doorstep uninvited, Mallory braces for the usual family chaos. What she doesn’t expect is a political firestorm, whispers of her father’s old enemies, and the creeping sense that everyone’s keeping something from her. Her dad''s mayoral campaign is heating up, her mother’s caught in the political crosshairs, and powerful enemies seem to be circling.
Her parents’ quick escape to Key West is supposed to take the heat off, but trouble follows them right to Mallory’s doorstep, entangling her in a web of secrets. And it’s not just her father hiding things—her boyfriend has a few secrets of his own, sparking tension in their brand-new relationship. When dangerous figures from her dad’s past resurface, and the family’s longtime maid turns up with a knife in her chest, Mallory’s tropical paradise turns into a nightmare.
Determined to uncover the truth, Mallory teams up with her hunky boyfriend Huck, her evasive father, and her ride-or-die friends, Juni and Ernie. But between old grudges, a ruthless political rival, and a mysterious figure stalking her family, the hunt for a killer takes a perilous turn—one that leads straight to Cuba.
With love on the line and danger closing in, Mallory will have to trust the people she cares about…even if they’re the ones holding the biggest secrets of all.
