In this charming mystery series set in an ice cream shop, no case is too cold to crack! Bronwyn Crewse is delighted that Crewse Creamery, the ice cream shop her family has owned for decades, is restored to its former glory and serving sweet frozen treats to happy customers in the picturesque small town of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. But when a big city developer comes to town intent on building a mall, a killer with a frozen heart takes him out. After literally stumbling across the body, one of Win’s closest friends becomes the prime suspect, and to make things worse, Win’s aunt has come to town with the intention of taking command of Crewse Creamery. Even though Win has a rocky road ahead to help her friend and keep her ice cream shop, it'll take more than a sprinkle of murder to stop her from solving the crime and saving the day.

This one was hard for me to sit down and read because there are so many people standing in the way of Win's success. I was so worried for her and so convinced that there was a wide ranging conspiracy. I won't feel you how the conspiracy turns out, but the Crewes Creamery and Win's vision are safe.
With that out of the way, there is a murder and a company that is trying to build a mall in the middle of Chagrin Falls. There are multiple people from Win's past that show up to make everything more complicated. And Maisie is determined to solve this crime, except she comes on a like strong. Thankfully Win is there to settle her down and do some real investigating.
The solution was obvious to me, so I was glad that I was right. How they discovered the murder and brought them to justice was really clever and memorable. The recipes at the end sound delicious! I can't wait until summer to make one of two of these!
I have two small complaints. One is that Win hardly ever seemed to be working at her restaurant. But some mysteries just call for that. Two is that I wanted to see the shady businessmen get their comeuppance, but may e we will see that in future books. And those are two tiny complaints.
Overall, this is a fun twisty mystery and we get to meet a few new wonderful characters!
I received a copy of the book. This is my review.
