Batter Off Dead

Description

In Agatha Award-winning author Maddie Day's tenth Country Store Mystery, Pans "N Pancakes owner and part-time sleuth Robbie Jordan must untangle the clues to find the killer of a knitting circle member... In South Lick, Indiana, fine foods and classic cookware can be found at Robbie Jordan's Pans 'N Pancakes. Unfortunately, her country store also seems to stock up on murder... Robbie and her new husband Abe O'Neill are enjoying a summer evening in the park with fellow townsfolk excited for some Friday night fireworks. In attendance are senior residents from Jupiter Springs Assisted Living including Grant Bird, father to South Lick's very own Police Lieutenant Buck Bird. Despite his blindness, Grant is a member of his group home's knitting circle, spending quality time with some lovely ladies. But when the light show ends, one of the knitters who sat with Grant is found dead, a puncture wound in her neck. The poor woman's death echoes that of Buck's mother and Grant's wife-an unsolved homicide. To help find the killer, Robbie's going to have to untangle the knotty relationships deep in the victim's past...
