Publisher Description
"The first shake shop mystery delivers all the delectable ingredients cozy mystery fans crave. This terrific series debut is certain to tempt the reading palates of fans of Cleo Coyle, Sarah Graves, and the much-missed Diane Mott Davidson."
—Library Journal, STARRED Review for Pint of No Return
The second book in the Shake Shop Mysteries—a new murder in town has Trinidad Jones thrown for a scoop!
It's Alpenfest in Upper Sprocket! Yodelers are congregating in the square, tourists flocking to the town, and Trinidad Jones is scooping up some fall flavors at her Shimmy and Shake Shop.
The cherry on the sundae is her upcoming feature in The Scoop magazine. She's determined to serve up the perfect interview, but it won't be easy, thanks in part to her meddling Cuban grandfather Papa Luis who has decided to make Sprocket his home for the foreseeable future. Papa Luis has set himself up as a taxi driver in his classic 1951 Buick.
But things take a turn when Papa Luis tells her he's found a corpse in his trunk. Upon closer investigation, they realize the body has disappeared. With the assistance of Juliette and Bonnie (her sisterhood of exes) and the way too handsome nut farmer Quinn Logan, Trinidad must solve the mystery of the disappearing corpse, before her father is up to his neck in a murderous mess.
Praise for Pint of No Return, Book 1 of the Shake Shop Mysteries:
"Murder offers the heroine a surprisingly fresh start in this charming series kickoff"—Kirkus Reviews
"A delicious charmer featuring a triple scoop of murder"—Library Journal

More mysteries…
Welcome back to Upper Sprocket, home of the Shimmy and Shake Shop and the Sisterhood of Exes. Trinidad Jones is in fine form with her latest creations just in time for the Alpenfest. A body found, bones unearthed and suddenly there are secrets, both old and new.
There’s your plan and God’s plan, and your plan doesn’t count. Somehow that seems to be about the sum of it. The ice cream is fabulous, the yodeling something Noodles greatly enjoys and the mystery of sin in Sprocket that will not stay buried. You don’t want to miss the incredible concoctions or the chance to try to figure out the conundrum facing this small town.
An ARC of this second book in the Shake Shop Mystery series was received through Poisoned Pen Press. These thoughts and impressions are my own and were in no way solicited.
