Scoop to Kill

Tallulah Jones may be the proprietor of Dalliance, Texas's old-fashioned ice-cream parlor, but she's no stranger to cold-blooded murder. No one is more shocked than Tally when the local college serves up a double dip of death. During the annual Honor's Day festivities, Tally's niece Alice stumbles upon the body of a graduate student. Suspicion falls on the English professor the student had accused of sexual harassment, but, a couple days later, the professor's found dead too. Tally steps out from behind the counter of Remember the A-la-mode to clear the professor's name. But in an English department sprinkled with failing students, cutthroat academics, and extramarital affairs, the list of suspects rivals A-la-mode's choice of flavors. When Alice gets chillingly close to a killer, Tally realizes she must act fast before someone else is put on ice.
