What is this book about?
After her divorce from her thrice-married embezzler husband, Trinidad Jones is finally ready for a fresh start. So when she’s left one of ex’s businesses in Upper Sprocket, Oregon, she decides to pack up her dog, cash in her settlement, and open her dream business: the Shimmy and Shake Shop, introducing the world to her monster milkshakes. And even with a couple sticky situations underway, namely that the other two ex-wives also call Sprocket home, Trinidad’s life seems to be churning along smoothly.
That is, until she discovers her neighbor, the Popcorn King, head down in his giant popcorn kettle. When one of Trinidad’s fellow ex-wives is accused of the murder and Upper Sprocket descends into mayhem, it’s going to take a supersized scoop of courage to flush out the killer.
My review:
This was a fun start to this cozy mystery series. It was so interesting that Trinidad was in the same small town as her ex-husband’s other ex-wives. That definitely spelled conflict. There was an eclectic cast of characters and suspects to welcome us to Upper Sprocket. I did have an inkling of who the murderer was but there were enough suspects to throw me off the scent. There was also a hint of potential romance. I may have to pick up the next book in the series to see if anything happens there.
What I enjoyed most about this book:
Interesting mystery with lots of suspects
What I didn’t like about this book:
Took me some time to get into
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Interesting mystery, fun cast of characters, many suspects, and even a hint of romance. This is the first book in the series.
