MINT CHOCOLATE MURDER by Meri Allen
The Second Ice Cream Shop Mystery
The Second Ice Cream Shop Mystery
Autumn may have arrived in Penniman, Connecticut, but the Udderly Delicious Ice Cream Shop is still doing brisk business. Riley Rhodes, shop manager, is also joining forces with caterer Bitsy Bittman to provide ice cream for the Fall Arts Festival at Moy Mull Castle. Maud Monaco, the former super model who owns the castle, has brought controversial photographer Adam Blasco in as the featured artist. His edgy photography is not everyone's cup of tea and neither is
the man himself. Missing his own presentation the second day, the errant
artist is eventually found dead, in the locked dungeon. Was it an
accident or murder?
A pretentious artist whose predilections are even more heinous is ripe to be murdered and we have a unique method in the second Ice Cream Shop Mystery. We also have a great setting within the charming Penniman environs. Moy Mull Castle and its grounds provide atmosphere and history too. What better place for a murder victim to be found than a dungeon? Rather fitting as well.
I enjoyed meeting the new characters and getting to know those from the previous book better. I commiserated with Caroline over Sprinkles behavior, laughing at the exit of the cat therapist while picturing my own Calumet doing something similar. Sigh.
MINT CHOCOLATE MURDER serves up a delicious mystery sprinkled with colorful characters, funny moments, and mouthwatering ice cream.
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I love naughty cats - sounds like Calumet could give Sprinkles a run for her money! Meri
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by. Calumet is something else all right. She's the eldest of my six cats and to say she rules the roost is putting it mildly. The Empress is 17.
