Just six weeks after the grand opening of Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe, owner Kate McKay has been enlisted to whip up sundaes at the most decadent soiree in the Hudson Valley. If only Kate knew how deadly sticky her sweet deal will turn out . . . Once Kate arrives at a glamorous gala hosted by world-famous fashion designer Omar DeVane, she’s instantly intimidated by the mogul’s luxurious mansion and the frosty personalities of his handlers. But the party completely loses its flavor when guests follow screams to a room that’s eerily empty—except for Omar’s freshly murdered body . . . With the scandalous case driving customers away from Lickety Splits, Kate has no choice but to put down the ice cream scooper and expose the culprit on her own. But as she crashes high-profile photo shoots and mingles with fashion’s biggest influencers in search of clues, her attempts to freeze cold-hearted criminals in their tracks could lead to a double scoop of deadly trouble . . . Includes mouthwatering ice cream recipes from the Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe!
This is the 2nd in the Lickety Splits Mystery series. I did not read the first book and I was still able to follow along. This can be read as a standalone although I usually like to read a series in order. I do plan to go back and get the first book as I would like more of the backstory of the events in the prior book and on Kate. Kate has moved back to Wolfort’s Roost from Manhattan to help her Grandmother who has health issues. Kate recently opened her ice cream shop and it has been so well received she has been asked to cater events. She has been invited to create sundaes at the fancy fashion designer’s party of Omar Devane. Ice cream particularly sundaes are his favorite. She is intimidated by the luxurious mansion and uppity folks at the party, however, she is happy it was going off without a hitch that is until screams ring out and Omar is found murdered. Murder is not good for the town and Kate decides she needs to jump into the investigation. There is humor and romance (have to admit not a big fan of love triangles.. need to focus on just one please). Highly recommend.
