Game of Cones | Cynthia Baxter
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
As stormy weather puts a freeze on business at Lickety Splits, Kate McKay doesn’t waffle around scooping up new clientele at a historic hotel. But her hopes of becoming the Hudson Valley’s reigning ice cream queen melt fast when murder checks in . . . From the moment Kate arrives at the imposing Mohawk Mountain Resort, not even luggage brimming with hot fudge can sweeten her stay. Instead of savoring alone time with her on-again boyfriend Jake and leading workshops on whipping together delectable frosty treats, she finds herself stranded at the isolated hotel with a small group of nutty characters—and a dead body. When the corpse of wealthy cosmetics executive Bethany La Montaigne is suddenly found following a blackout, any of the five strangers trapped with Kate and Jake could be the killer. Chilled to the core, Kate vows to discover whether the victim’s mortal enemy was a smooth-talking playboy, bubbly millennial, mousy librarian, charming Englishman, or the Mohawk’s creepy general manager . . . Bethany’s life was chock full of scandals and there’s little doubt that someone refused to endure another taste. With just a sprinkling of clues, it’s up to Kate to bring justice to a culprit who believes that revenge is a dish best served cold . . . Includes mouthwatering ice cream recipes from the Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe!

Cozy mystery about ice cream? Yes! Game of Cones? Meh. I really wanted to like this, but none of the characters had enough of a personality and I just couldn't get into the story; from the protagonist on down, I had issues with the characters or there just wasn't enough info for me to get into it and then all of a sudden, bam! A sudden reveal! I did like the ice cream facts at the start of every chapter as well as the recipes included at the end.
