Restaurateur Robbie Jordan is ready for the boost in business a local music festival brings to South Lick, Indiana, but the beloved event strikes a sour note when one of the musicians is murdered . . .
June’s annual Bill Monroe Bluegrass Festival in neighboring Beanblossom is always a hit for Robbie’s country store and café, Pans ‘N Pancakes. This year, Robbie is even more excited, because she’s launching a new bed and breakfast above her shop. A few festival musicians will be among Robbie’s first guests, along with her father, Roberto, and his wife, Maria. But the celebration is cut short when a performer is found choked to death by a banjo string. Now all the banjo players are featured in a different kind of lineup. To clear their names, Robbie must pair up with an unexpected partner to pick at the clues and find the plucky killer before he can conduct an encore performance . .
Another 5 star offering from Maddie Day, in this the fifth outing for Robbie, she has finished all the work to allow her to open as a B & B and just in time for the annual Bluegrass Festival, which means some of the participants are staying above Pans 'N Pancakes (mind you she DID hold back the best room so that her father, Roberto, and his wife, Maria, can also stay), everything seems to be going smoothly until a few altercations happen at the Festival, all of which involve one particular person, the problem is she ends up dead, well and truly murdered the following day and with a Plethora of suspects (some of which are staying at the B & B!) that would be bad enough but then there is another death, and the Police need to figure out if this is a copycat killing or do they have a serial killer on the loose around South Lick.
With Pans 'N Pancakes becoming an unofficial office for the local Police, Roberto and Maria ending up staying longer than they thought (although that bit was nice for Robbie) and even more suspects Robbie wants to find out what happened and why so that she and her assistants can get back to doing what they do best, cooking the best breakfasts and lunches in the area.
Thank you for your review on "Death Over Easy" by Maddie Day and for being part of the book tour.
