Grilled For Murder (Country Store Mystery, #2)

by Maddie Day

Robbie Jordan may have had reservations about the murder victim, but she still needs to turn up the heat on a killer if she wants to keep her new restaurant open for business…

In the charming small town of South Lick, Indiana, Robbie has transformed a rundown country store into the runaway hit Pans 'N Pancakes. But the most popular destination for miles around can also invite trouble. Erica Shermer may be the widow of handsome local lawyer Jim Shermer's brother, but she doesn't appear to be in mourning. At a homecoming party held in Robbie's store, Erica is alternately obnoxious and flirtatious--even batting her eyelashes at Jim. When Erica turns up dead in the store the next morning, apparently clobbered with cookware, the police suspect Robbie's friend Phil, who closed up after the party. To clear Phil and calm her customers, Robbie needs to step out from behind the counter and find the real killer in short order…

Reviews

[Mystereity Reviews]

Grilled For Murder is book 2 in the Country Store Mystery series. It can be read as a stand-alone, the few mentions of the 1st book are explained and don't detract from the current story.

I really enjoyed the book; the main plot kept me guessing right to the end I thought the victim could've been introduced a little more before she was killed; all you know about her is that people didn't like her. A little more depth in the character would've made her death have more of an impact. I liked the secondary plot, the mystery about the death of Jim's brother. I hope that will continue into the next book.

It still bothers me that Robbie's store isn't called Pots 'N Pancakes, though.

Overall, an enjoyable book to a series that's shaping up to be a favorite.
