Flipped for Murder

Country Store Mystery Series #1

By: Maddie Day

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

Nursing a broken heart, Robbie Jordan is trading in her life on the West Coast for the rolling hills of Southern Indiana. After paying a visit to her Aunt Adele, she fell in love with the tiny town of South Lick. And when she spots a "for sale" sign on a rundown country store, she decides to snap it up and put her skills as a cook and a carpenter to use.

Everyone in town shows up for the grand reopening of Pans 'n Pancakes, but when the mayor's disagreeable assistant is found dead, Robbie realizes that not all press is good press. With all eyes on her, she'll have to summon her puzzle-solving skills to clear her name, unscramble the town's darkest secrets, and track down a cold-blooded killer - before she's the next to die.

Critic reviews

"Day's series debut provides some quirky characters and red herrings along with the obligatory romantic interest and recipes." ( Kirkus)

Not sure I flipped for the story

Pretty good story, but not the best I've read or listened to. Might be awhile before I listen to the second one.

Voice was hard for me

Had a really hard time with the narrators voice. The character in the book was supposed to be younger but voice did not match. Very disconcerting. Had a hard time feeling like I could get lost in the story.

Tasty muredr

This is. A fantastic sweet and fun story of a young woman who 1st is way more than meets the eye also she decides to open up a sweet country dinner and because of that she seems to be in the cross hairs of some of the past she never even knew about. This is a fun story and I will be listening to the 2nd one as soon as I can.

good story line and the people all different

like the people in the story and the story it self but it was one of those form

The narrator. Who says ‘DIAH-per’?

I liked the story / simple and entertaining. Unfortunately I found the narrator annoying. I don’t think I can endure more stories narrated by her.

Characters came alive.

I enjoyed the flow of the story. Reader of book flowed from one character to another effortlessly.
Will be searching for more books by this author.

Friends taking care of friends!!!

I liked it when Robbie found her Father. And her father responded by welcoming her to come to Italy.

Good book but bad narrator

the book seemed good but the narrator seems older than the characters in the book, hard to get into the book when the narrator doesn't sound relatable to the characters. I may hold off on the other books of series

Decent story, a bit disjointed

The story was decent. As other have said I struggled to get past the main character was supposed to be 27 but the narrator sounded like she was old enough to be the character’s mother. I did not mind spending time with the characters but parts of the story seemed disjointed, and last minute additions. An example of this is the romance.

good listen but not my usual

I found it talked more about cooking and kind of got a little humdrum. but it picked it the end
could of been a shorter read
