It's Alpenfest in Upper Sprocket, the "Swiss Alps of Oregon."
I do love a cozy mystery taking place during a festival.
You may perhaps understand a few of the secondary characters a bit better if you have read the first book of this delightful series, but you can start here and follow almost as well.

Trinidad Jones has been unlucky in love, but her disastrous marriage made it possible for her to build a new life and be building a new family far from her Florida roots. Her grandfather, Papa Luis, has moved in to keep an eye on her. As you can imagine, adjusting to the climate is a challenge for them both.
Trinidad runs an ice cream shop and is frantically thinking how to keep it profitable as the seasons change. Who wants to enjoy a frozen treat when they are freezing themselves?

She is also figuring out if her heart is ready for a new romantic relationship. Small signs are appearing that secrets are being kept from her by the man she is interested in. Is he too good to be true?

More stress is not what she needs when Papa Luis shakily tells her she must see something in the trunk of his car, that something being a body which disappears before the authorities arrive.
Upper Sprocket was a quiet, peaceful small town, at least it seemed, before Trinidad and her "sister" ex~wives moved there.

Great world building, moments of humor, and characters you'll care about are all within these pages.
Enough suspects and motives to keep you guessing until the very end.

Alpenfest has arrived and Upper Sprockerians are doing their best to bring in the tourists. When Trinidad overhears that Quinn sold some land to a local business owner he doesn’t care for, Trinidad wonders what could have caused him to sell some of his land. When the business man is found murdered, Trinidad knows Quinn is hiding something, but she sure doesn’t believe he’s a murderer. Can she find out what killed the man and get Quinn to tell her what’s going on? Or will Trinidad walk into the killer’s trap and be silenced once and for all?

The second book in this series is another solid whodunit filled with red herrings. Just when you think you know who did it, you change your mind right up until the final reveal. A great cozy series with recipes!

I enjoyed this book. The characters are great and the story is interesting. I was definitely surprised by who the killer is. #ASprinkleinTime #NetGalley
