Riley goes into investigation mode and starts asking guestions and it leads to conflicts with the police. As she takes over the ice cream shop and the big annual Sunshine festival is about to take place, Riley continues to look for the murderer.

This is a fun small town mystery, complete with two fun cats as supporting characters. It’s the first book in the series and hopefully more adventures with Riley and the cats will be on tap.
