On a quiet spring morning in May, Helen Lawson and her long-time friend Flo Patterson are peacefully strolling along Oak Street in the heart of downtown Bridgeville. Little do they know that as they are discussing hair appointments and spring flowers, Harley Baker, owner of the local ice cream parlor, is being brutally murdered less than a block away. Once Helen and Flo part company, Helen goes into the ill-fated shop and makes the gruesome discovery. What follows is a full-scale police investigation that involves Helen in a controversy, pits her against her police-officer son-in-law, and puts her at odds with the town mayor. In the meantime, a local "bad boy" is arrested for the crime and Helen races against time to clear the young man and bring the real killer to justice.
"Mint Chocolate Murder is a delightful confection of wonderful characters, a yummy setting, and an intriguing, twisty, and multi-layered mystery. It's the perfect book to curl up with on a lazy summer afternoon—preferably with your favorite flavor of ice cream close to hand." --Elizabeth Penney, Edgar-nominated author of the Cambridge Bookshop Series Riley Rhodes returns in the second delicious cozy set in a New England ice cream shop, Meri Allen's Mint Chocolate Murder! When Udderly Delightful Ice Cream shop manager Riley Rhodes is summoned to Penniman’s Moy Mull Castle, it’s the cherry on top of a successful summer season. The gothic pile built by an eccentric New England Gilded Age millionaire has been transformed into a premiere arts colony by Maud Monaco, a reclusive former supermodel. As part of Moy Mull’s Fall Arts Festival, Maud is throwing a fantasy ice cream social and hires Riley to whip up unique treats to celebrate the opening of an exhibit by Adam Blasco, a photographer as obnoxious as he is talented. As Penniman fills up with Maud’s art-world friends arriving for the festival, gossip swirls around Blasco, who has a dark history of obsession with his models. Riley’s curiosity and instincts for sleuthing – she was a CIA librarian – are piqued, and she wonders at the hold the cold-hearted photographer has over the mistress of Moy Mull. But when Adam is found dead behind the locked door of Moy Mull’s dungeon, Riley realizes there’s more than one suspect who’d wanted to put the malicious photographer on ice.
