Resumen del Editor

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....

Guesser

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

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.

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.

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.

Cute, But Boring

This book was soooo slow. Probably the most basic mystery I’ve ever listened to. It should be a YA selection as it read more like a volume of Goosebumps than an adult murder suspense book. I can’t fathom that these characters were adults who supposedly were of the age to have graduated college but don’t know how to use Google or what can be found in a search?! And the plot was sooo drawn out. It felt like the author had a word count to meet and just filled the pages rather than actually telling a suspenseful story. It literally didn’t get exciting until the last 22 mins. With all that said, it wasn’t the worst book, just slow. Listen when you need to pass time or before bed. Also, the narrator was very monotone…think Kourtney Kardashian lol.

horrible narrator, ok story

overall the story is fine, but the narrator is SO HORRIBLE and I really think it is a computer. Sad that I already purchase book two, which has the same narrator.

Cozy Short

What a fun title, interesting characters and situations if you are looking for a quick fun read this is it.

cozy light pleasant family based mystery-on to #2

liked it enough to continue with the series; ice cream near cleveland is an interesting concept

Very Good Story

I really enjoyed the story and how everything came together in the end. The family’s live and dedication to each other. How pop pop stayed behind the scenes but in the know. I was shocked at the end.

Fun murder mystery!!

I honestly did not expect to like this book as much as I did, but I did!! The story is lighthearted enough with really fun characters much in the vane as Father Brown or Miss Fischer or Frankie Drake that you forget that it’s about a murder!
