When the Grits Hit the Fan

Country Store Mystery Series, Book 3

De: Maddie Day

Narrado por: Laural Merlington

Before she started hosting dinners for Indiana University's Sociology Department at Pans 'N' Pancakes, Robbie never imagined scholarly meetings could be so hostile. It's all due to Professor Charles Stilton, who seems to thrive on heated exchanges with his peers and underlings, and tensions flare one night after he disrespects Robbie's friend, graduate student Lou.

So when Robbie and Lou go snowshoeing the next morning and find the contentious academic frozen under ice, police suspect that Lou might have killed him after their public tiff. To prove her friend's innocence, Robbie is absorbing local gossip about Professor Stilton's past and developing her own thesis on the homicide - even if that means stirring up terrible danger for herself along the way.

Terrible choice in narrator

Cute story but very much disappointed in choice of narrator for this series!! She is obviously very elderly and reading the role of a 27 year old. It’s all the other characters as well.

awesome mystery

These books get better and better as they go along.
It was a thrilling ride going along with Robby while she sorted out the mystery.

when grits hit the fan.

the author is a good author but she went on a rampage. it's hard to follow the book once I got past towards the last few chapters it started becoming better. was not aware that mod was the killer, until she drove up in the black SUV.

Tasty treat once more

Would you listen to When the Grits Hit the Fan again? Why?

Yes Robbie is like an old friend who u just want to talk to every time and have a meal with.

What other book might you compare When the Grits Hit the Fan to and why?

There really isn't one I could compare with because this is a series that does not depend on gross but depends more on being smart and quick.

Have you listened to any of Laural Merlington’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I need to find more of her performances

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I see Robbie as a person almost and love her relationship with Abbe love we're the story is going.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for the next part.

Really enjoys this series

I’m really enjoys this series, it gets better with each installment. Maddie Day is able to keep the storyline moving along. Laural Merlington, as always gave a stellar performance as she brought her story to life giving each character their own distinct voice. I highly recommend this book/audiobook and series to cozy mystery fans.

I love these characters!

I truly am enjoying this series. The writing is great and the voice actor is awesome!

Enjoying the Series

Enjoying series the narrators voice sounds too old 27-year-old. But I do enjoy the series.

narrator sounds too old for 27-year-old protagonist

great little stories nothing too deep only problem is the narrator's voice it's really hard to keep thinking you're listening to the story of a 27 year old woman when the narrator sounds like she's in her 50s or 60s and probably smoked

the fact that I had no idea as to who did The killing.

I like the Happy ending and the fact that the mystery was solved so I can't wait to listen to the next book!
