If you're a fan of cozy mysteries set in coastal New England, endearing characters, gripping plots, and, of course, ice cream parlors, you'll love the Seaside Ice Cream Shop Mysteries.

Banana Slit (Book 1) 
The grand opening of Anna McBride's seaside ice cream shop is anything but sweet.

After the tragic death of her Irish twin sister, Bella, Anna needed a radical change. So, she closed her counseling practice in Boston to embark on a new adventure as an ice cream shop owner.

Now all she wants is to settle into her new town, attempt to turn her black thumb green, and build her ice cream shop into a community hub that hosts quality entertainment and group gatherings - just like Bella had often fantasized about doing before her fateful boating accident.

And what better location than Seagull Cove, the small Massachusetts coastal town where Anna and Bella created their best memories?

But when Anna finds her first musical guest, and Seagull Cove's most famous son, murdered in the alley behind her shop, her grand opening ends on a sour note.

Anna must find the killer, or her ice cream shop will become more famous for its crimes than its banana splits. If only she could convince Joe Wiggins, her favorite new customer and a retired P.I., to assist her… But retired life is treating him too well.

To further complicate Anna's life, Joe thinks he saw Bella peering into Anna's ice cream shop from across the street. Bella's body was never found. Could she still be alive?

I Scream (Book 2)
We all scream for ice cream. And for murder…

After a turbulent start, Anna McBride is finally settling into her new life in Seagull Cove, Massachusetts. Business is strong, and her ice cream shop is fast becoming the community hub that Anna dreamed it would be.

Just as she's getting comfortable in her new life, Olivia, one of Anna's young employees, discovers her uncle's body, and the teen's mother turns to Anna for help finding the killer. After all, Anna knows all too well what it feels like to lose a sibling prematurely.

Meanwhile, with the help of a handsome journalist, Anna uncovers more clues surrounding her own sister's alleged death.

If you love small New England seaside towns, endearing characters, page-turner mysteries, and ice cream parlors, you'll love the Seaside Ice Cream Shop Mysteries.

Salted Caramel Crime (Book 3)
An afternoon with friends is sweeter than ice cream… unless it's cut short by murder.

Anna takes a break from her busy ice cream shop for a long-awaited lunch with friends at Rosie's inn.

But a pleasant afternoon turns deadly when the housekeeper is murdered.

Now, Anna and Rosie must do some clean-up of their own if they are to discover the killer and save the inn's reputation.

Meanwhile, nothing seems to be going right in Anna's search for her sister, especially after Joe Wiggins mysteriously pulls back from the case. That is, until Anna's search brings her and Jeremy undercover at a beauty school in Maine.
