A Mystery a la Mode
Obsidian Mystery
Release Date September 7, 2010
2nd book of Series

Wendy Lyn Watson sure knows how to make a cozy mystery sundae!! A big scoop of  murder, a scoop of small town charm, a scoop of characters you will fall in love with, a sweet topping with just the right amount of romance, a little whipped up humor and the cherry on top,  Tallulah Jones, proprietor of Dalliance, Texas’s old-fashioned ice-cream parlor, Remember the A-la Mode.

In Scoop To Kill, Tally is serving up dessert for an Honor's Dinner at the local university, but before the party even gets started, Tally's niece discovers the body of a graduate student. A student that has accused a certain professor of sexual harassment,  who failed him on his graduate work and was making his future melt right before his eyes.  The professor becomes the prime suspect, but Tally's niece, Alice, doesn't believe it and begs Tally to help her scoop out the truth.  As Tally starts to investigate, she enters the world of academia, where she finds extramarital affairs and cutthroat tactics are the norm, not the exception, so the number of suspects continues to grow.  Tally is afraid Alice is getting too close to the killer and just may end up in the deep freeze, so she needs to churn out the killer before it's too late.   

 

Ice cream never tasted this good!!!  This mystery is scrumptious, delicious, delectable, and oh so yummy.  The setting was perfect. The characters both good and bad, and with the plot twists sometimes it is hard to distinguish between the two, are full of life and entertaining.  The only thing that could make this story more luscious, would be to freeze it and put it on stick or in a bowl so you could actually taste the wonderful flavors of ice cream from Remember the A-la Mode!  A real treat, a must taste, I mean read!!!!!
