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 . . .

      This perky series launch from Collette (the Logan Dickerson mysteries) introduces Bronwyn “Win” Crewse, who has taken over Crewse Creamery, the ice cream parlor her family has owned for decades in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, after her aunt’s retirement. Win is excited to remodel the business and recreate her late grandmother’s innovative recipes. But when a snowstorm keeps all her potential customers at home on Win’s opening day, she decides to comfort herself by making a batch of ice cream with snow. On her trek to find pristine snow, Win trips over the body of Stephen Bayard, who years earlier plunged Win’s family into a legal nightmare. Bayard was killed with a lethal injection, and Win’s father, a surgeon at the local hospital, becomes a prime suspect. With the enthusiastic help of her best friend, Maisie Solomon, Win sets out to prove her father’s innocence. Readers should be prepared for lots of coincidences and jumping to conclusions, but a pair of plucky female sleuths, a close-knit family, and ice cream shop lore more than compensate. This is a tasty treat for cozy fans. Agent: Rachel Brooks, Bookends Literary.

      Chandra Skyye brings both female and male characters alive in a pitch-perfect narration that creates larger-than-life characters. When Win returns from New York to Chagrin Falls in order to reopen her family's ice cream shop, a murder takes place, resulting in the police looking at members of her family as suspects. So Win and her best friend, Maisie, set out to do their own sleuthing. Skyye's portrayal of Maisie highlights her madcap temperament, and she creates the perfect grandad character with Pop Pop. Skyye's clear and steady narration is perfect for this cozy murder mystery and its likable protagonist. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
