I loved visiting Udderly Delicious and Penniman again! This time we are off to an art festival at Mount Mull. The castle that a rich guy built for his Scottish wife back in the day. Now a retired supermodel and current businesswoman owns it. She has Riley coming in to provide ice cream for the festival and there is even going to be a cookbook.
We meet Adam, the photographer, and learn so much drama that surrounds him. It is obvious that he is the victim, but who is the murderer? Vye, his talented and underrated assistant? Maud, the ex/supermodel? Prentiss, Maud's long suffering assistant? Luca, Willow's new love interest who didn't trust Adam's intentions? Or someone else from Adam's past? And how did his body get locked into the dungeon/conference room?
I picked out the important clue, but I didn't know what that clue meant. Of course, I think I picked up on some unimportant clues as well. So I wasn't that great of a sleuth.
Oh! And Brandon made another monstrous ice cream creation. It was green with marshmallows and some other stuff in it. Of course you know Riley made some good ones too. Primarily pumpkin spice. I don't think she made a Mint Chocolate one even though that is the title of the book. That however is the biggest complaint I could make about the book.
The mystery was great. The characters were great. The setting was great. The book was great.
Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press.
