Review: Milkshake Up (Crime à la Mode #2) by Christy Barritt

About the Book
When ice cream lady Serena Lavinia’s best customer doesn’t show up to buy his daily treats, she has no choice but to find out if he’s okay.

She didn’t expect to find him lying dead amid the wrappers of her wares.

As an investigation begins and all the evidence points to Serena, she has no choice but to clear her name. With the help of her trusty dog Scoops and her new frenemy Webster Newsome, she’s determined to find the bad guy before her life gets the ultimate shake up and she spends the rest of her days behind bars . . . and not of the frozen indulgence variety.


My Thoughts

Milkshake Up is the second installment in Christy Barritt's fun new Crime a la Mode mystery series. It's a quick and refreshing read that I finished in an afternoon.

Serena's such an entertaining character to read about. She's quirky, full of spunk, and definitely keeps things lively. This time around, she finds one of her best customers murdered and becomes the primary suspect when all the evidence points to her being the killer. To prove her innocence, and with the help of her friends and her loyal dog Scoops, she sets out to solve this mystery and clear her name.

The mystery was great and had me stumped. I had no clue who could've done it and was quite shocked when the reveal came. I'm excited for book three to see what kind of mischief Serena finds herself in next time.
