My Review
Dani Delany is trying to figure out where her possible romance with detective Jake Barlow stands when she finds herself in the middle of a new mystery. She goes out to a new nightclub with her friends Gwen and Eli and witnesses a confrontation between Jake and a mysterious woman named Angelique. When Angelique ends up murdered, Dani decides to prove Jake's innocence - with the help of her sister Meghan, Gwen, and Eli.
I wanted to read this book because I like all Lena Gregory's mysteries, and especially enjoy the Coffee & Cream Cafe series.
This is a fun, fast paced mystery. Dani may own a vintage malt shop, but she thinks like a detective! It was great seeing her work so closely with her best friends and sister on this case as well. I didn't guess who the murderer was on this case, so I particularly enjoyed watching Dani solve the case.
My one and only wish was for more scenes at the malt shop. There seemed to be fewer in this book.
I highly recommend Buried on a Sundae - and this entire series - for other cozy mystery readers. You are sure to enjoy this book!
Book Synopsis
From author Lena Gregory comes a delicious new mystery…
Things have been looking up for Danika Delany’s business—her uncle’s old fashioned malt shop on eastern Long Island. But for her love life? Not so much. After a disastrous date with Detective Jake Barlow, Danika lets her best friends, Gwen and Eli, talk her into a night out at the hottest new nightclub in town. Only, while there, Dani finds her sort-of boyfriend secreted in the shadows on the beach behind the club with crime boss Patrick Johansen’s wife, Angelique! An upset Dani leaves without giving Jake a chance to explain, but when he doesn’t get in touch the next day, she takes a long walk along the beach to reevaluate her love life. That’s where she suddenly stumbles across Angelique’s body buried in the dunes near where she last saw her with Jake. Sure that Jake is innocent—of murder at least—Danika and her friends set out to prove Jake had nothing to do with her murder and stop a killer…before they strike again!
