Deep Fried Death

A Country Store Mystery, Book 12

By: Maddie Day

Narrated by: 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

Another winner

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.

Enjoyable

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

horribly monotone reading

what a horrible reading! monotone all the way through. couldn't enjoy the story or characters. t o o bad, it was a good story.

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.
