Ice Cream Parlor Mystery: Book #1
Bookseller recommendation
“This adorable culinary cozy set in a small town near Cleveland will certainly leave you craving ice cream! Marketing-savvy Bronwyn has recently moved back home from New York to revamp and reopen the family-run ice cream parlor started years earlier by her grandparents. Amidst all her preparations, the only thing she wasn’t expecting on opening day was to find a dead body behind the shop, and while she was trying to honor her grandmother’s legacy by making fresh snow ice cream, no less! Filled with antics from family and friends, this intergenerational whodunit centering on a Black family will leave you guessing until the last minute.”
— Mary • Raven Book Store
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 . . .
