Publisher Description
In this charming mystery series set in an ice cream shop, no case is too cold to crack!
Bronwyn Crewse is delighted that Crewse Creamery, the ice cream shop her family has owned for decades, is restored to its former glory and serving sweet frozen treats to happy customers in the picturesque small town of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. But when a big city developer comes to town intent on building a mall, a killer with a frozen heart takes him out.
After literally stumbling across the body, one of Win’s closest friends becomes the prime suspect, and to make things worse, Win’s aunt has come to town with the intention of taking command of Crewse Creamery. Even though Win has a rocky road ahead to help her friend and keep her ice cream shop, it'll take more than a sprinkle of murder to stop her from solving the crime and saving the day.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of Collette's entertaining sequel to 2020's A Deadly Inside Scoop, Bronwyn "Win" Crewse, the proprietor of her family's ice cream shop in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, attends a meeting of the Shop Owners of Chagrin Falls Association, where Zeke Reynolds, the nervous representative of a Texas real estate company, gives the group an update on his company's plans to build a mall in the village. The SOOCFA members make it clear they don't care for the idea. When one of Win's best friends, Riya Amacarelli, throws her shoe at Zeke, he cries, "Don't shoot the messenger!" The next day, Zeke's body is found in an alley, and Win, Riya, and Win's other best friend, Maisie Solomon, join forces to discover which shop owner shot him. The stakes rise with the arrival of a former colleague from the New York City ad agency where Win once worked, who says she wants to lure Win back to New York, but isn't telling the whole truth. Distinctive characters and sharp dialogue more than make up for some unresolved subplots. Cozy readers will look forward to the further adventures of Win and friends.
Customer Reviews
Pretty Dang Good!
Second book in the series, and I did enjoy it. The new characters introduced were enticing, while keeping the old ones relevant. Overall a good and solid read, however it did seem to have a rushed ending. The pieces had not fallen into place completely. Still would recommend for sure!
