No Grater Crime

Country Store Mystery Series, Book 9

De: Maddie Day

Narrado por: Laural Merlington

Robbie Jordan's Pans 'N Pancakes boasts delicious eats and the best vintage cookware finds in South Lick, Indiana. And now, for a limited time, there's a new special featured on the menu - murder!

Ever since meeting the wary owners of an antique shop opening across the street, Robbie has been scrambling to manage weird incidences plaguing her cafe and country store. Pricey items vanish from shelves without explanation, a fully equipped breakfast food truck starts lingering around the area each morning, and loyal diners mysteriously fall ill. When an elderly man dies after devouring an omelet packed with poisonous mushrooms, Robbie must temporarily close down Pans 'N Pancakes and search for the killer with a real zest for running her out of business - or else.

Small Town Cozy Mystery

I enjoyed the story and mystery. It reminded me a bit of an episode of Murder, She Wrote. All of the suspects are located within the small town.

The story opens with Robbie meeting her grumpy new neighbors. The plot thickens when they open two new competitors to Pans 'N Pancakes across the street. The mystery is well written. I spent about half the book wrong about the motive and situation surrounding the murder.

The narrator is excellent. I cannot recommend her enough. I hope that she narrates all of the installments in this series.

Great series

Great series wish the readers voice age matched the age of the character. Sounds like she’s a lot older.

great twists

Bad actors mess with the wrong person when they take on Robbie Jordan. Good story with a few references to characters from past books. I know I've binged too many books in this series when Boy Howdy comes out off my mouth!

Just wish the recipes were included as a pdf.

loved the story

this was a very good book it kept me entertained while I painted. can't wait to listen to the next one

Shocked at the victim!

Like the close family and friend bond Robbie has with so many in town. Suspects were easy to point out, but you stay to see which one did it and why! Shocked at who one of the victims ended up being.

Just a couple of petty complaints

Laurel Merlington is a wonderful narrator . . . who has, as mentioned by others, the voice of a 50-60 year old woman. This has been a distraction to me throughout this series. Robbie is supposed to be a late 20-something. The rest of the voices are fine. The the aw shucks southern twang and grammar of some of the characters seems more like eastern Kentucky than southern Indiana, but I assume that is on the author, or perhaps I’m wrong. Overall, obviously, I enjoy the series because I have purchased and listened to every book up to this one and intend to purchase the next, and last so far, as well.

grater crime

this is another great read. I love the way the story is heading and the new plot twist for the books.

enjoyable story because it was not gory and the fact that it was a nice mystery.

I enjoyed the mystery because it was interesting to see who did it and why and it kept you guessing until the very end which was very nice to keep me wondering.

Great addition

Maddie Day has written another great installment in the Country Store Mystery series. All the usual characters are present as well as an intriguing mystery to solve.
Laural Merlington as always gave a standout performance as she breathed life into the storyline and gave each character their own distinct voice.
I highly look forward to the next in series.

What’s with the old lady New Jersey accent on the reader

The reader should like an 80 year old from New Jersey. The main charter is supposed to be like 30. Took a lot away from the listening
