First in the Country Store Mystery series—include recipes! "A nice cozy mystery with lots of comfort food and suspense."—Rainy Day Ramblings

In this freshly baked series, author Maddie Day lifts the lid on a small town in southern Indiana, where a newcomer is cooking up a new start—until a murderer muddles the recipe . . .
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 falls 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 . . .

"What a terrific debut! This deliciously clever cozy—set in a deceptively charming little town—is fresh, intelligent, and delightful. A winner!" —Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony, Macavity, and Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author
"You'll flip for this mouth-watering new series. Maddy Day serves up a tasty mystery with a side of scenic country charm."—Leslie Budewitz, two-time Agatha Award-winning author of the Spice Shop Mysteries

      A new restaurant owner is beset by murder and other troubles. Robbie Jordan has moved from California to South Lick, Indiana, the town where her mother grew up, to open Pans 'N' Pancakes, a restaurant and store featuring antique cookware. Robbie's aunt Adele lives nearby, and she's also made quite a few friends, including her handsome lawyer, in the time it's taken to renovate the old store and upstairs apartment. But not everyone is happy with Robbie's new endeavor. Neither the owner of a restaurant in a nearby town nor a strange character who wanted the store for himself is celebrating. When the mayor's snoopy assistant, Stella Rogers, is found murdered, Robbie becomes a person of interest and decides she needs to do some snooping of her own to clear her name. Apparently Stella had been blackmailing a good number of people for years, so there are plenty of other suspects. Robbie never knew who her father was, but her investigation into the murder is sidetracked when she turns up a likely candidate-a handsome Italian exchange student who romanced her mother and whom she greatly resembles. Robbie contacts her possible father in Italy while she continues to dig for dirt at home and finds enough to motivate several attempts on her own life. Day's series debut provides some quirky characters and red herrings along with the obligatory romantic interest and recipes.
