I just polished off a short, cozy ebook mystery. It was A Frozen Scoop of Murder by Constance Barker, and it's the first in a series.

Tara opens her own ice cream shoppe, The Frozen Scoop, and her friends Stormi and Paige help her run it. One of her regular customers, Miss Greta, is the town harridan. When Greta is murdered via peanut dust (everyone in town knew of her allergy to peanuts), Tara can't resist speculating on who may have wanted the woman dead. Was it her nephew, who stood to inherit? Her bff, whom Greta had a falling out with? One of the two men that Greta was allegedly seeing? Or was it someone else?

The story was light and short--perfect for a quick read. It was average at best. There was nothing remarkably good, nor remarkably bad about it. I thought the ending was rushed, but oh well. I don't believe I'll bother reading more in this series, but if you like short cozies, give it a try.

Favorite line: I wouldn't win a foot race with her if the finish line were rimmed with bakery goodies.

Three of five:
