Murder with a Cherry on Top
Murder with a Cherry on Top | Cynthia Baxter
2 posts | 2 read
Kate McKay had doubts about swapping her high-powered life in Manhattan for Wolfert's Roost, the quaint Hudson Valley village where she grew up. But her ailing grandmother needs her, so Kate decides to start fresh and indulge her dream of running an ice cream shop. All goes smoothly--until she's reunited with old acquaintances nuttier than a vat of rocky road . . . Kate should be thrilled about opening Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe. Instead her spirits melt like soft serve in the summer when she learns that her childhood frenemy, Ashley Winthrop, has started selling frozen treats in the bakery across the street. Turns out, Ashley hasn't sweetened since high school. And, once again, she's game for some very unfriendly competition . . . But before Ashley can kill Kate's new business, someone kills Ashley--stabbing her inside the bakery. Worse, the murder occurs right after the two rivals drew crowds with a heated argument, leaving half of Wolfert's Roost speculating that Kate was finally pushed over the edge. With her reputation in serious trouble, Kate is determined to get the real scoop--even if it means joining forces with a former flame. But she'll need far more than a sprinkle of wit if she wants to expose the killer and live to see another sundae . . . "Decadent, deadly, and delightful! Murder with a Cherry on Top is a charmer of a cozy mystery. A delicious read that left me hungry for more."--Jenn McKinlay, New York Times bestselling author Includes mouthwatering ice cream recipes from the Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe!

This is a cute cozy mystery series about an ice cream shoppe owner. I didn‘t care for the characters too much. They were adults who grew up in the same town, went off to college, and then came back home. But they seemed stuck back in the high school frame of mind for the most part. I will read the next one in the series before I decide to discontinue the series.
