When an ice cream vendor discovers a frozen stiff, Florida diner owner Gia Morelli has to serve up some just desserts . . .
Gia has become good friends with Trevor, a fun, flirtatious bachelor who owns the ice cream parlor down the street from her popular All-Day Breakfast Café. Trevor has the scoop on all sorts of local attractions and activities. But when he bursts into her diner, trembling and paler than a pint of French Vanilla, she can tell something's very wrong. Trevor points her toward his shop then passes out cold. When Gia runs down to his shop, she discovers a chilling sight—a dead body in the open freezer. But the ice cream man's troubles are just beginning. The police suspect him of this murder a la mode, especially when details of his questionable past surface. Gia believes in her friend and is determined to clear his name and find the real cold-blooded killer before someone else gets put on ice . . .
There are only a few series I will read back to back, this has become one of them, more to the point one I will re-visit again and again! We have murder, mayhem and history coming back to bite in Boggy Creek, we find out more about the history of some of the regular members of the pages of Lena Gregory's books, we discover treachery, honour and sadness, all wrapped in a wonderfully crafted tale.
Gia is settled in Boggy Creek, she now has a relationship with her best friend's cousin and some more good friends (as close if not closer than family, not that Gia knows about close family), and the main one, Savannah, has chivvyed her into taking a few days away from her beloved All Day Breakfast Cafe, Earl and Cole are going to man the kitchen and Willow will do her usual fantastic job front of house, but everything comes to a screeching halt when Trevor (another friend and the owner of the local ice cream parlour, Storm Scoopers) comes staggering into the cafe and faints, having uttered that there was a dead body in his freezer! Add in local politics, secrets coming home to roost and injuries, Hunt and Gia having a misunderstanding (and Savannah and Leo coming to an understanding) this is another fun, semi fast paced, cozy that hits all the right spots!
