The grand opening of Anna McBride's seaside ice cream shop is anything but sweet. After the tragic death of her Irish twin sister, Bella, Anna needed a radical change. So, she closed her counseling practice in Boston to embark on a new adventure as an ice cream shop owner. Now all she wants is to settle into her new town, attempt to turn her black thumb green, and build her ice cream shop into a community hub that hosts quality entertainment and group gatherings - just like Bella had often fantasized about doing before her fateful boating accident. And what better location than Seagull Cove, the small Massachusetts coastal town where Anna and Bella created their best memories? But when Anna finds her first musical guest, and Seagull Cove's most famous son, murdered in the alley behind her shop, her grand opening ends on a sour note. Anna must find the killer, or her ice cream shop will become more famous for its crimes than its banana splits. If only she could convince Joe Wiggins, her favorite new customer and a retired P.I., to assist her… But retired life is treating him too well. To further complicate Anna's life, Joe thinks he saw Bella peering into Anna's ice cream shop from across the street. Bella's body was never found. Could she still be alive?
