I Loved this book

I picked up this book for myself while shopping for Christmas presents last year and I'm so glad I did. I loved it. I'm a busy working mom of 2 and need something that doesn't require too much energy to keep up with the plot. My only time to read is right before bed so I like mysteries that are still lighthearted and fun. This book fit all of those requirements. I love murder mysteries and this one has a bit of a romantic twist in it which made it cute. I loved Watson's writing style and sense of humor. I'm looking forward to reading more adventures with Tallulah Jones and her ice cream shop!

Another Scoop, Please!

I absolutely LOVE Tally and her entire, whacky family. I even feel somewhat endeared toward Wayne the Pain at time. Excellent writing from an excellent author, I truly can't wait to read the next book! This is a MUST READ.

Fun Murder Mystery - Debut Author

I found this book and I like the concept that Tally is dealing with ex-husband, opening up an ice cream shop, ex-high school boyfriend shows up and then MURDER. Tally is a `person of interest' in the murder and decides to find the killer on her own - it was great! The blurb on the back got me and the story was fun and I didn't not figure out the killer until it was exposed. Can't believe she is a debut author - off to add her next book to my wish list Scoop to Kill: A Mystery a La Mode due out Sep 7, 2010

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick, enjoyable easy read. It was funny, had a great story, and just a bit of romance. I can't wait for the next installment. Highly recommended!!!

delightful amateur sleuth

In Dalliance, Texas, recently divorced Tallulah "Tally" Jones is worried that business is down at her ice cream store Remember the A La Mode. That is the only reason she agreed to provide the dessert for her former husband's annual party for people connected to Wayne's Weed and Seed. She has no fond feelings towards the man she was married to for seventeen years as her spouse ran around until he dumped her for a twenty something beautiful man-ater Brittanie. At the gala, almost all the attendees are intoxicated including the babe Brittanie. The very next day Wayne comes to Tally's house because Brittanie died in his bed and he needs his former wife to tell the cops he was with her last night. Tally refuses to lie, bur ponders who might have wanted her dead. The cops find antifreeze in cups that Tally made especially for Wayne. Tally goes from bystander to prime suspect as she has motive, means, and opportunity to eliminate her rival. To stay out of jail, Tally investigates Brittanie's life, which means scooping up the town's dirt. This is a delightful amateur sleuth that is not only exciting, but also never melts down. Tally is complex especially when it comes to Wayne who she pities. The reason for the homicide is very sad as Wendy Lyn Watson makes a case that anyone could be a killer if the circumstances warrant it. With a light touch mostly brought by friend Bree who sums up the enjoyable I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM while serving ice cream with "pick your poison". Harriet Klausner
