THE CONTINUATION OF SUPERBESTSELLERS “MURDERS AND MUFFINS,” “MURDERS IN BEACH HUTS” AND “MURDERS AT A DOG SHOW” — IN A PERFORMANCE BY ALEXANDR KLYUKVIN.
Summer is in full swing in Southbourne, and the ladies at the charity shop have their hands full. After yet another exhausting day, Fiona, Sue, and Daisy plan to head to the beach for some fishing—but their plans are dashed by the cheerful jingle of bells.
To their astonishment, an old ice-cream van appears on the promenade, and behind the wheel is Bella, Daisy’s daughter. Recently returned to town after splitting up with her husband, she’s trying to figure out what to do next. Deciding to start something new, Bella never imagined that, along with the purchase of the van, she would get a whole stack of troubles as well…
A few months ago, the body of the van’s previous owner was found in its freezer. The criminal whom the newspapers dubbed the “vanilla killer” was never identified. Locals haven’t forgotten, either—and now they steer clear of the van. But this is only a small part of Bella’s troubles: soon, threatening notes start being left for her.
Afraid that Bella may become the next target, the fearless detectives take on the case. They must identify the murderer before he manages to strike again.
