Camryn Brooks is managing her parents' store, Curio Finds, while her best friend, Alice "Pinky" Nelson, runs the adjoining coffee shop, Brew Ha-Ha. Business has been brisk and reluctantly Cami agrees that seasonal help is needed this Christmas. What a surprise for Pinky and Cami when they immediately get two volunteers, Molly Dalton and Emmy Anders. Unfortunately, someone wants Molly dead and now Cami finds herself in the middle of a police investigation. Can Cami uncover who the real culprit is?

Christine Husom gives readers a nice dose of that home town feeling in THE ICED PRINCESS. The friendship between Cami, Pinky, Erin, and Mark is a strong one, and the bonds have only strengthened after their experiences from the first book, SNOW WAY OUT. I really like Pinky and her warmth and loyalty to her friends. I struggle a bit more with Cami, although she continues to grow on me. Her nosiness leads her into some risky behaviors (such as following cars home) and there were a couple times I wanted to call Mark or Clint and ask them to arrest her for her recklessness!

THE ICED PRINCESS is the second book in the Snow Globe Shop Mystery series but readers can jump right in and still enjoy this charming mystery. I love how Christine Husom incorporates the snow globes and their various scenes into her mysteries as it adds a unique twist. I can't wait to see how the theme continues in future books in the Snow Globe Shop Mystery series!
