The Ice Cream Shop Mysteries continue Shari Randall’s formula of pairing food businesses with amateur detective work. The three books, published between 2021 and 2023, follow an ice cream shop owner whose seemingly sweet life keeps turning up murder. Each title plays on ice cream flavors while delivering the puzzle-solving plots cozy mystery readers expect.
The series marks Randall’s second food-themed mystery venture, building on the approach she developed with the Lobster Shack books while moving to a new setting and protagonist.
