Deep Fried Death

A Country Store Mystery, Book 12

De: Maddie Day

Narrado por: Laural Merlington

The latest installment in Maddie Day's deliciously popular Country Store cozy mysteries is sure to appeal to fans of Jenn McKinlay, Ellery Adams, Leslies Meier, and Joanne Fluke.

Many residents of South Lick, Indiana, claim the Outhouse Race, in which competitors push old-timey outhouse replicas on wheels at the annual Abe Martin Festival on Memorial Day, is the best thing since indoor plumbing. Just because country store and restaurant owner Robbie Jordan has too much to do managing her new deep fryer as well as an old lover reappearing, she's not going to miss out on the fun. Plus, it's good for business.

But when a dead body and a cast-iron skillet tumble out of the Pans 'N Pancakes outhouse entry on the race route, it seems someone is trying to frame Robbie—in a most unconventional way. Now she'll need to be privy to the townsfolks' secrets as she races to flush out a killer . . .

I just love this series and can't wait for next installment. it was a great read and would recommend

Enjoyable

Characters are real and fun to know also I’m from Indiana, which is a definite attraction

As A Christian, I Was Offended

I thought the book sounded like fun so I got it. My first disappointment was with the narrator. I’d heard her voice and was good with it. Then I hear that the main character is 29. The narrator sounds as if she is twice that old. There’s nothing wrong with being sixty, I am myself. But I think it a bad choice for the book.
My biggest problem was with the derisive comments made about Christians, prayer and The Church. A cozy mystery is not the forum for such discussions.
I will not listen to another of Ms. Day’s books.

Narrator Didn’t Match Robbie-Not up to the usual story

The story was so dull. That coupled with the narration made it difficult to
listen. I decided I don’t care enough to finish this one.

Cozy Mystery with a Pregnant Sleuth

Have you ever had a friend who got pregnant then found a way to make almost every conversation about the pregnancy? To me, that's what reading this book is like.

I have absolutely loved this series. They were automatic pre-orders for me every single time. However, this book was a disappointment. If she was that obsessed with staying out of danger, she shouldn't have been investigating at all. It doesn't make sense. It also plays heavily into religious stereotypes which was disappointing as well.
