A Deadly Inside Scoop

Ice Cream Parlor Mystery, Book 1

By: Abby Collette

Narrated by: Chandra Skyye

This book kicks off a charming cozy mystery series set in an ice cream shop—with a fabulous cast of quirky characters.

Recent MBA grad Bronwyn Crewse has just taken over her family's ice cream shop in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and she's going back to basics. Win is renovating Crewse Creamery to restore its former glory, and filling the menu with delicious, homemade ice cream flavors—many from her grandmother's original recipes. But unexpected construction delays mean she misses the summer season, and the shop has a literal cold opening: The day she opens her doors an early first snow descends on the village and keeps the customers away.

To make matters worse, that evening, Win finds a body in the snow, and it turns out the dead man was a grifter with an old feud with the Crewse family. Soon, Win's father is implicated in his death. It's not easy to juggle a new-to-her business while solving a crime, but Win is determined to do it. With the help of her quirky best friends and her tight-knit family, she'll catch the ice cold killer before she has a meltdown....

So intriguing its keeps you guessing until the end. You won't see it coming until the end.

Highly Entertaining

I have given other books with an ice cream theme a try and was disappointed. However, I'm very happy that I gave this book a try. It is funny without trying and has a great cast of characters. Bronwyn, Maise and Riya are a great team and I love their "Ride or Die" friendship. The mystery is well written and fast paced with several plot twists. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next book in this series.

Cute story

This was a very cute story, with a murderous twist. The characters were simple and just enough to keep the story straight. There was no confusion between the characters. The ice cream shop inheritance story line was interesting along with the others who 'acquired' shops. If you're looking for an easy listening story, this is a good one. 😊

I enjoyed this

it moved at a good pace. Mazy cracked me up. it was the first murder mystery I could listen to with my kid in the car. no foul language that I can recall and no sex.

Fun, Entertaining Mystery

This book was a delight to listen to. The combination of family dynamics, a small business owner trying to relaunch her family's legacy ice cream store, and the meta murder mystery elements is a winning combination.

Also it really made me want ice cream.
