Very good first book
I thoroughly enjoyed diving into “Venom in Vanilla,” the first instalment in the Sundae of Secrets series by Patti Petrone Miller. Set in a quaint village where nothing is as sweet as it seems, this cozy mystery kept me guessing right until the final scoop.

Miller’s characters are delightfully quirky, each adding their own dash of flavour to the story. The protagonist, with her knack for stumbling upon trouble, makes for a charming amateur sleuth. The plot is as rich as a double chocolate sundae, blending twists with just the right amount of suspense.
What truly sets this book apart is the vivid setting that feels like stepping into a vintage ice cream parlour. From the bustling market square to the hidden nooks of the village, every scene is painted with delicious detail.

While I found the pacing steady, there were moments where the plot could have churned a bit faster. Nevertheless, the intricate web of secrets and suspects kept me turning the pages.
Overall, this is a delectable treat for cozy mystery enthusiasts. With its blend of charm, intrigue, and a dollop of humour, it’s sure to satisfy your literary sweet tooth.
