Cozy Mystery

This is a Cozy Mystery, and this is the first book in the Ice Cream Shop Mystery series. I have to say the cover of this book totally made me get this book, and I think the cover is so very cute. In this book we follow Trinidad after her divorce to no good ex-husband. She moves to Sprocket which sounds like the cuteness small town ever, but her ex-husband's other two ex-wives lives in Sprocket. I think my favorite character is Noodles which is Trinidad's dog, and this dog just takes the spot light several times during this book. I love Noodles so much. I have to say the mystery was ok, and I really love learning this town and these characters. This is a funny and cute book with a little mystery. I will be picking up the second book in this book series. I can see great things coming for this series. I receive an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.

Clean Suspense

Pint of No Return by Dana Mentink is the first book in her Ice Cream Shop Mystery series. Trinidad Jones is ready for a fresh start. After receiving a storefront from her ex, Trinidad packs up her dog and moves to Upper Sprocket, Oregon where she opens her dream shop; the Shimmy and Shake Shop. Everything is working out just great until she finds her neighbor, the Popcorn King, dead in his store. Now, she must decide if she is brave enough to try to solve the murder mystery. I enjoyed getting to know the people in the small town of Sprocket. Trinidad was a very likable person. The story-line was great and pretty fast-paced. I ate more ice cream than usual with the story taking place in an ice cream shop! The ice cream flavors sounded awesome and I enjoyed getting a behind-the-scenes look at the making of them. By the end of the book I was wishing that the Shimmy and Shake Shop was actually in my town! I received this book from the author for my honest review.
