The second book in the Shake Shop Mysteries--a new murder in town has Trinidad Jones thrown for a scoop

It's Alpenfest in Upper Sprocket Yodelers are congregating in the square, tourists flocking to the town, and Trinidad Jones is scooping up some fall flavors at her Shimmy and Shake Shop.

The cherry on the sundae is her upcoming feature in The Scoop magazine. She's determined to serve up the perfect interview, but it won't be easy, thanks in part to her meddling Cuban grandfather Papa Luis who has decided to make Sprocket his home for the foreseeable future. Papa Luis has set himself up as a taxi driver in his classic 1951 Buick.

But things take a turn when Papa Luis tells her he's found a corpse in his trunk. Upon closer investigation, they realize the body has disappeared. With the assistance of Juliette and Bonnie (her sisterhood of exes) and the way too handsome nut farmer Quinn Logan, Trinidad must solve the mystery of the disappearing corpse, before her father is up to his neck in a murderous mess.

Cozy Mystery

A Sprinkle in Time by Dana Mentink is the second book in her Shake Shop Mystery series. Welcome back to the quaint little town of Upper Sprocket, Oregon, where Trinidad Jones is whipping up a delicious ice cream surprise. When her grandfather discovers a dead body in the trunk of his beloved classic car, Trinidad must help find the murderer before the new life she has come to love melts around her. Trinidad’s sleuthing abilities are a work in progress. I loved the way she protected those she loved. Another cozy mystery from a wonderful author. I received this book from Celebrate-Lit for my honest review.
