Welcome to The Mad Egg Diner Where the Eggs are Over Easy and the Murder is Hard Boiled

In search of respite from her bustling diner, Melody embarks on a week-long retreat with her daughter Tricia, anticipating a laid-back escape filled with engaging stories and Tanqueray gin. However, their idyllic getaway is abruptly interrupted by murder, shattering the tranquility of their retreat.

The victim, Lara Lynch, was none other than the personal bodyguard to the audacious lawyer Sly Carrera. With her life brutally taken by a deliberate hit-and-run, Melody finds herself drawn into the case. Despite the disapproval of cowboy cop Gabe, who is still reeling from Melody's past reckless exploits, our fearless heroine remains undaunted.

Fiercely independent, Melody sets out on her own investigation, stirring up a simmering pot of suspects that range from a disgruntled martial artist to a jealous girlfriend. As both friends and family are implicated and interrogated, Melody and Gabe's friendship faces its most intense confrontation yet.

Amid the chaos, Melody's dear friend and loyal customer Gideon announces his intent to purchase the forsaken Irish pub in town—a puzzling move for a man of modest means. His inclusion on the suspect list raises further questions about the trustworthiness of Cascade's residents.

As suspicions mount and loyalties are tested, the central question resurfaces: Who is orchestrating the deadly crime ring plaguing Cascade, Colorado? With time running out, can the embattled detectives set aside their differences to dismantle the criminal network before it consumes them all? In a thrilling tale of secrets, betrayal, and the enduring bonds of friendship, Melody and Gabe must navigate a treacherous web of deceit and danger to uncover the truth and bring justice to their community.
