Acknowledgments

Many thanks and a mint chocolate chip hot fudge sundae with sprinkles and a cherry on top to:

Bill and Charlotte, my ice cream dream team, for whipping up all the treats and keeping the freezer stocked with good things.

Jessy and David, for encouragement, cheering, and laughter.

Hugh O’Hare, for taking time out at a wedding reception to explain milk and cream mixtures.

The wonderful team at St. Martins. I’m so lucky to have you in my corner.

First reader and editor extraordinaire Barb Goffman, and my wonderful friends at Writers Who Kill, Cozy Mystery Crew, Stiletto Gang, and Sisters in Crime.

And special thanks to Alice Pfeifer, who inherited me, and helps me keep it cozy.
