Just six weeks after the grand opening of Lickety Splits Ice Cream Shoppe, owner Kate McKay has been enlisted to whip up sundaes at the most decadent soiree in the Hudson Valley. If only Kate knew how deadly sticky her sweet deal will turn out . . .

But the party completely loses its flavor when guests follow screams to a room that's eerily empty-except for Omar's freshly murdered body . . .

With the scandalous case driving customers away from Lickety Splits, Kate has no choice but to put down the ice cream scooper and expose the culprit on her own.
