Death by Chocolate Malted Milkshake

While the small-town setting is inviting, I wondered if the idyllic vibe overshadowed the darker undercurrents. Did that contrast work for others?

The milkshake theme is such a fun twist, but I’m curious if the author had a particular reason for choosing a culinary setting for this crime story.

There were moments that made me laugh out loud, but I also found myself on the edge of my seat. Was that balance something the author planned from the start?
