Can an Ice Cream Shop Owner Catch a Killer?

If you love cozy mysteries with a dash of danger, a sprinkle of small-town charm, and a heroine who refuses to back down—even when the crime scene is right behind her business—you’ll want to scoop up Venom in Vanilla today.

Set in the seaside town of Seabreeze Shores, Venom in Vanilla introduces Lila Montgomery, a determined ice cream shop owner whose life flips upside down when a slick out-of-town developer winds up dead behind her shop. With the police breathing down her neck and her scoop shop turned into a crime scene, Lila has no choice but to dig into the mystery herself.

What she finds? A twisted trail of secrets, backroom real estate deals, suspicious neighbors, and one infuriatingly handsome detective who might be hiding more than just evidence.
