The Iced Princess by Christine Husom

The Iced Princess (A Snow Globe Shop Mystery, #2)

by Christine Husom

The national bestselling author of Snow Way Out returns with more sparkling snow globes and cold-blooded murder...snow globe-making projects and tips included!

It’s that time of the year again—the Christmas rush is about to begin, and curio shop owner Camryn Brooks and her BFF, coffee shop owner Alice “Pinky” Nelson, need to hire additional help. Their former high-school classmate, Molly Dalton, is not exactly who they had in mind. Has the rich socialite worked a day in her life? But Molly practically begs for the job.

On her first day, Molly seems to be in her own little world, and Cami worries that her new employee may flake out. The problem turns out to be far worse than that when Cami discovers Molly dead in the back of the shop, after drinking a poisoned cup of coffee. Soon there is an avalanche of suspects as Cami starts shoveling through the clues—including a shattered snow globe of Marilyn Monroe. Now Cami will have to venture out of her safety zone before the pathological poisoner stirs up more trouble...

I liked the first one in this series better. This one focuses too much on the romance - which already sucked to start with - it didn't get better. The mystery was a bit too ridiculous for my tastes - there were lots of little plot twists that just irritated me. So not as good as the first book, 2 stars.
