Espresso shots, icy secrets, and a frosty murder that’s too close to home.

In Iced Spy, the second heart-racing installment in the Bison Creek Mystery Series, A. Gardner whips up another cozy caper where coffee is strong, clues are cold, and danger brews beneath every snowflake.

Essie Stratter, part-time barista and full-time amateur sleuth, is still adjusting to life in the quirky mountain town of Bison Creek. But when the grand opening of the town's new ice cream parlor ends in disaster—a body found face-down in a tub of rocky road—Essie is once again thrown into a chilling mystery.

The victim? A secretive newcomer with ties to espionage and a list of enemies longer than the dessert menu. As gossip spreads faster than whipped cream, Essie teams up with her loyal friends and trusty intuition to uncover the truth.

Between oddball suspects, cryptic clues, and small-town drama, she’s got her work cut out for her. And when her own loved ones are threatened, the stakes turn deadly.

Iced Spy is a clever blend of cozy mystery, small-town charm, and fast-paced sleuthing that will satisfy fans of culinary whodunits and light-hearted suspense. It’s a perfect winter read—wrapped in mittens and mystery.
