What People are Saying About A Deadly Inside Scoop!
Recent MBA grad Bronwyn Crewse has just taken over her family's ice cream shop in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and she's going back to basics. Win is renovating Crewse Creamery to restore its former glory, and filling the menu with delicious, homemade ice cream flavors—many from her grandmother’s original recipes. But unexpected construction delays mean she misses the summer season, and the shop has a literal cold opening: the day she opens her doors an early first snow descends on the village and keeps the customers away.
To make matters worse, that evening, Win finds a body in the snow, and it turns out the dead man was a grifter with an old feud with the Crewse family. Soon, Win’s father is implicated in his death. It's not easy to juggle a new-to-her business while solving a crime, but Win is determined to do it. With the help of her quirky best friends and her tight-knit family, she'll catch the ice cold killer before she has a meltdown...

Chagrin Falls, Ohio USA
This is one of the few times that I write about a real place! The Village of Chagrin Falls, Ohio is a suburb of Cleveland where I live. It was established in 1844 and was built around a fall of the Chagrin River. And there is really a shop over the falls. It's a popcorn shop but they sell ice cream too. You'll find that some of the events and places I write about in my Ice Cream Parlor Series are real! Here are some pictures.
Here's a picture of the falls. My ice cream shop (and the real popcorn shop) is built on top of it. Isn't it beautiful? How much fun would it be to eat ice cream with that as a view!

In A Deadly Inside Scoop, there is a big snow storm on the day Win re-opens the ice cream parlor after a remodel. As you can see, the snow can affect the falls!

A lot of small towns and villages are built around a square. Not Chagrin Falls, their center of town is a triangle! See all the stores around it? I hijacked them for my story, too and filled them with my own characters!

And there's the popcorn shop! Shhh! Don't tell them that I've turned their story into Crewse Creamery!
