Murder with a Cherry on Top is the debut of the Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe mystery series set in the small town of Wolfert's Roost, NY and featuring ice cream shop owner, Kate McKay. Having left her Manhattan PR job to come back home and take care of her ailing Grandmother, Kate follows a dream and opens Lickety Splits, an ice cream shop featuring Kate's new and inventive flavors.

The shop is off to a great start thanks to the help of best friend Willow Baines, until Kate realizes that her high school nemesis, Ashley Winthrop, owner of the bakery, Sweet Things, located across the main street has put a sign up in her window proclaiming the new addition of ice cream to the menu. Ashley has been a thorn in Kate's side since kindergarten and determined not to let her ruin her new business, Kate engages Ashley in a loud verbal altercation out on the sidewalk. When Ashley is discovered dead the next morning, all spoons point to Kate.

A fun, easy read with ice cream descriptions that will have your mouth watering and your freezer door open. Interesting characters and relationships that hopefully will continue to develop in future installments.
