The delicious second book in the Shake Shop Mysteries! Trinidad Jones is thrown for a scoop when she encounters a disappearing corpse.

The first shake shop mystery delivers all the delectable ingredients cosy mystery fans crave. This terrific series debut is certain to tempt the reading palates of fans of Cleo Coyle, Sarah Graves, and the much-missed Diane Mott Davidson. – Library Journal, STARRED Review for Pint of No Return

The second book in the Shake Shop Mysteries – a new murder in town has Trinidad Jones thrown for a scoop!

It's Alpenfest in Upper Sprocket! Yodelers are congregating in the square, tourists are flocking to the town, and Trinidad Jones is scooping up some autumn flavours 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.

Praise for Pint of No Return, Book 1 of the Shake Shop Mysteries:
