Synopsis: As stormy weather puts a freeze on business at Lickety Splits, Kate McKay doesn&’t waffle around scooping up new clientele at a historic hotel. But her hopes of becoming the Hudson Valley&’s reigning ice cream queen melt fast when murder checks in . . . From the moment Kate arrives at the imposing Mohawk Mountain Resort, not even luggage brimming with hot fudge can sweeten her stay. Instead of savoring alone time with her on-again boyfriend Jake and leading workshops on whipping together delectable frosty treats, she finds herself stranded at the isolated hotel with a small group of nutty characters—and a dead body. When the corpse of wealthy cosmetics executive Bethany La Montaigne is suddenly found following a blackout, any of the five strangers trapped with Kate and Jake could be the killer. Chilled to the core, Kate vows to discover whether the victim&’s mortal enemy was a smooth-talking playboy, bubbly millennial, mousy librarian, charming Englishman, or the Mohawk&’s creepy general manager . . . Bethany&’s life was chock full of scandals and there&’s little doubt that someone refused to endure another taste. With just a sprinkling of clues, it&’s up to Kate to bring justice to a culprit who believes that revenge is a dish best served cold . . . Includes mouthwatering ice cream recipes from the Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe!
