Rocky Road of Crime (A Sylvia's Ice cream Parlor Mystery 2)
After the death of her husband, Sylvia Bowden needs a new direction in her life and runs to the sanctuary of the Blue Ridge Mountains only to find anything but peace.
Sylvia's ice cream business is going well and she's settled down in Silver Run Falls. Rocky Road Ice Cream is selling like hot cakes too.
She runs into a problem when her horse, Heston, her ride to work, develops a limp. She calls the veterinarian, Jeff Baxter, to the rescue.
When she finds the vet's apprentice, Bobby Hanson, dead near her land, her maternal instinct kicks in and she sets out to find out what happened to him.
Can her skills for deduction help her to solve the case?
With the village fair on the horizon, will Heston recover to win first prize at the horse show?
'Sylvia had never known Heston behave so wildly. He was well and truly spooked.
She clung to his reins, the leather cutting into her fingers and burning the skin. In a split second, she tried to remember everything her dad had taught her and if it contained guidance on how to whisper a horse.
It was no use, she could think of nothing, her mind feeling numb and tingly as the scenery spun around her head.
The pain in her fingers and the unsteadiness of her position were becoming unbearable and involuntarily, she let go.'
??????A clean cozy mystery series set in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
