Scooped

Fresh-roasted coffee, cold Butter Brickle, and a deadly recipe for sabotage.

Dr. Maddie Kohl traded twenty-two years of university politics for the comforting aroma of freshly roasted coffee and a quieter life in Lincolns historic Haymarket district. Now the proud owner of The Grinding Room, Maddie has everything she needs: loyal customers, a charming antique dealer who keeps finding reasons to visit, and a cherished Tuesday tradition involving a scoop of Butter Brickle ice cream.

But her sweet routine is about to turn deadly.

When a popular university student collapses after swallowing shattered glass hidden in a tub of ice cream, campus authorities dismiss the incident as a tragic maintenance accident.

Maddie isnt buying it.

With decades of food science experience and an eye for details others overlook, she discovers evidence of deliberate sabotage. And the deeper she digs, the more suspects emerge.

A disgruntled store manager. An ambitious graduate student with everything to gain. A jealous fiancée whose family has supplied the universitys dairy products for generations.

Someone knows exactly what happened inside that Dairy Store—and theyre determined to keep the truth buried.

With help from a charming antique dealer, a handful of eccentric locals, and clues hidden in the most unexpected places, Maddie must unravel a tangled web of jealousy, ambition, and family secrets before another innocent person pays the price.

Because in Lincoln, Nebraska, revenge is a dish best served cold.

Scooped is a deliciously entertaining culinary cozy mystery filled with small-town warmth, university intrigue, clever sleuthing, a touch of later-in-life romance, and enough coffee and ice cream to satisfy any mystery lover.
