A Sprinkle In Time (Shake Shop Mystery #2) by Dana Mentink Review

My Review

A Sprinkle In Time is the second book in the Shake Shop Mystery series, the first book is, Pint of No Return which I have read and loved as well as this one.
We are once again returning to Upper Sprocket this time for the Alpenfest. Tourist are flocking there but ice cream isn’t the only thing being served up when the new fall flavors are introduced. Would you like a side of murder with that?
Trinidad Jones has it all planned out she’ll serve up the perfect interview for her feature in Scoop magazine. She’s not counting on her pesky grandfather Papa Luis deciding Sprocket is his new home away from home and he’s going to show off his classic 1951 Buck and even worse become a taxi driver.
Could it possibly get any worse? Yes, there is a body discovered in the trunk that then disappears when the investigating starts.
There were twists and turns and a whole host of characters that had one reason or another to suspect they may have done it. I was kept engrossed as I tried to figure out who did it.
I am really enjoying this series and can’t wait to see what the author scoops up next.

GoodReads Synopsis

It’s Alpenfest in Upper Sprocket! Yodelers are congregating in the square, tourists flocking to the town, and Trinidad Jones is scooping up some fall flavors at her Shimmy and Shake Shop.

The cherry on the sundae is her upcoming feature in The Scoop magazine. She’s determined to serve up the perfect interview, but it won’t be easy, thanks in part to her meddling Cuban grandfather Papa Luis who has decided to make Sprocket his home for the foreseeable future. Papa Luis has set himself up as a taxi driver in his classic 1951 Buick.

But things take a turn when Papa Luis tells her he’s found a corpse in his trunk. Upon closer investigation, they realize the body has disappeared. With the assistance of Juliette and Bonnie (her sisterhood of exes) and the way too handsome nut farmer Quinn Logan, Trinidad must solve the mystery of the disappearing corpse, before her father is up to his neck in a murderous mess.
