The first in new dessert cozy mystery series! A murder in town is bound to shake things up...

After her divorce from her thrice-married embezzler husband, Trinidad Jones is finally ready for a fresh start. So when she's left one of ex's businesses in Upper Sprocket, Oregon, she decides to pack up her dog, cash in her settlement, and open her dream business: the Shimmy and Shake Shop, introducing the world to her monster milkshakes. And even with a couple sticky situations underway, namely that the other two ex-wives also call Sprocket home, Trinidad's life seems to be churning along smoothly.
​
That is, until she discovers her neighbor, the Popcorn King, head down in his giant popcorn kettle. When one of Trinidad's fellow ex-wives is accused of the murder and Upper Sprocket descends into mayhem, it's going to take a supersized scoop of courage to flush out the killer.

If you’re a fan of culinary cozies, then look no further because this Shake Shop mystery is a must read! This is a delicious cozy with sweets galore! I wouldn’t mind trying one of these shakes!


🍨 𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 🍨

I received an ARC of the second book in this series not knowing that it was the second installment, so I immediately picked up this one. For starters, I love ice cream and shakes (even though it’s rare I eat them) so I knew this would be a fun series to devour. Secondly, doesn’t this cover scram READ ME?!? Because that’s how I felt when I laid my eyes on it. It’s just too adorable! Finally, I love reading new authors and was excited to find that Dana Mentink was one I’ve never read.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧: I really enjoyed it!

While I do wish the book was centered around the Shake Shop more (it hasn’t opened yet in this book) I think the mystery is well thought out and there were quite a few red herrings placed strategically throughout the book to throw me off of who the real killer was.

That being said, I think the reviews for this one speak for themselves. This is definitely a must read for fans of culinary cozies. I think seasoned readers of the genre and those who are new to it will enjoy this one equally!
