Deep Fried Death: 10/05/24

Deep Fried Death

Deep Fried Death by Maddie Day and Laural Merlington (Narrator) (2023) is the twelfth book in the Country Store mystery series. Robbie Jordan finds another body, this time, the woman who had been bad-mouthing Pans and Pancakes as she set up her rival restaurant. Now her body has fallen out of Pan and Pancake's racing outhouse — part of the annual Outhouse Race.

Robbie has to contend with a new detective, one who gets under her skin. She's also feeling more cautious in her amateur sleuthing because she's pregnant. Who wanted to kill her? And was the placement of her body an attempt to frame Robbie?

Thankfully Robbie's pregnancy isn't an excuse for extra melodrama. Although she's put in danger a couple of times, it's not any situation that puts her pregnancy at risk. What the pregnancy does is force Robbie to approach danger at a more cautious angle. It makes for an interesting change in pace for the series.

The next book is Scone Cold Dead which releases April 1, 2025.

Five stars
