Batter Off Dead

A Country Store Mystery, Book 10

By: Maddie Day

Narrated by: Laural Merlington

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 Roy Bird, father to South Lick's very own Police Lieutenant Buck Bird. Despite his blindness, Roy is a member of his group home's knitting circle, spending quality time with some lovely ladies.

But when the lightshow ends, one of the knitters who sat with Roy is found dead, a puncture wound in her neck. The poor woman's death echoes that of Buck's mother and Roy'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....

Not the best narrator

I love the books, I'm almost done with the series, I'll be sad when it's over. That said, Robbie is a late twenties character and the narrator is definitely north of fifty which detracts from the overall enjoyment somewhat.

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.
