Sea-Salt Lavender for Aphrodite

A case of murder with sweet complications

Rosella Rivers is known for her imaginative ice cream flavors as well as her unflagging drive to make her ice cream truck a success in the beach town of Olympus Bay. Devoted to her customers—including the mysterious Mick and his delightful poodle named Aphrodite—she will go to any lengths to please them.

Detective Mark Pruitt enters the picture after Rosella discovers Mick's corpse. Between other food truck owners and the frequent fliers drawn by the sun and sand, the suspect list grows by leaps and bounds.

One can't help but appreciate Rosella, a woman who is willing to get up before the sun rises in order to secure the success of her business—all the while using a vivid imagination in creating unique and different flavors in her ice cream treats. After Lavender proves to be a most faithful taste-tester, it's a match made in heaven.

For a sweet, fun story, filled with quirky characters—something author Howard is known for—pick up Sea-Salt Lavender for Aphrodite. You won't be sorry.

On a scale of 1—5, Sea-Salt Lavender for Aphrodite deserves a 6.
