Sometimes you want a thriller that gets your pulse going without forcing you to leave the lights on at night. This is a beach vacation after all. You’re supposed to be relaxing.
This is why we love “A Deadly Inside Scoop.” Abby Collette gives us a twist on the trope of the overachiever who goes back to her small hometown to save the family business.
In this case, such a business is an ice cream shop (we told you it’s perfect for a beach read). Things don’t turn out as planned when a body is found near the shop, and the protagonist’s father is framed for it.
Described as a cozy mystery, the stakes aren’t too high here, but you’ll always be entertained, especially as a slow-burn romance begins as it must always do when a girl from the city goes back to her roots.
This is the first in a series, so you’ll have enough reading material for the entire summer.
