River Holloway's catering business is growing by leaps and bounds especially now that she is providing cookies and cakes for her husband's ice cream shop, Island Creamery. Soon after catering an event for the Nature Coalition its volunteer of the year, veterinarian Jasmine Garr is shot in the back in her own yard. Gossip Central, also known as the Post Office is spreading news of the murder and led by Ola Mae Reed recruiting River to don her amateur sleuth cap and catch the killer before they strike again.
Soon River is juggling her catering clients, baking up a storm for Pete's ice cream shop, and a murder investigation. It isn't long before she has a variety of suspects. The chicken lady who found the body, Jasmine's cousin and likely heir, two would-be suitors, and a rival veterinarian. River quickly sees Jasmine Garr was not the woman she thought she was and starts to uncover some secrets that could be deadly. Definitely deadly for Jasmine Garr but they could also prove deadly for River.
River Holloway is such a strong protagonist. She is such a genuine person with a huge heart. It is almost impossible for her to say "no" to anyone. She has a full plate but still takes on delivering food to those in need. She also has a soft heart when it comes to animals. Her cat, Major certainly has River wrapped around her paw as do a couple of other animals before the story wraps.
Alligators, chickens, and an ancient tree, oh my! Ms. Toussaint has penned a marvelous mystery. Twists, turns, and secrets abound leading up to an edge of your seat reveal. The story is well-written with a well-plotted mystery. The subplots are interesting and really add to the story. The pace is excellent building to a very suspenseful reveal and takedown. Wow! I was totally surprised when the killer was revealed.
Life on Shell Island is cleverly presented. A typical small town with eccentric residents where everyone needs to be in the know of everyone's business.
Both Pete and River's businesses had my mouth drooling. I have a huge sweet tooth so I would be a constant visitor to Island Creamery. That being said I would love to be at every event River caters. Her recipes tempt my tastebuds especially when they are described in delicious detail by the author.
Shrimply Dead is a super addition to this series. I hope we get to visit these characters again soon.
