FLIPPED FOR MURDER is Book 1 in Maddie Day's Country
Store cozy mystery series. This story pulled me in
right
away because of the engaging and likable main characters.
The victim is horrid and so the suspects are many and
varied. Stella Rogers brought a little rain into every
life she touched. FLIPPED FOR MURDER is my favorite type
of mystery—one in which the sleuth has a good reason
for getting involved in a murder investigation. Shop
owner Robbie Jordan hunts down clues to get herself off
the radar of the local police, as well as to clear the
name of her eatery.
The evil that slithers through the quaint Indiana town is
insidious. Not only does Robbie have to deal with a
murderer on the loose, but she gets hit with sabotage to
her restaurant and other very personal attacks. Over the
course of FLIPPED FOR MURDER, she tries to figure out who
is behind both and if it is the work of one individual.
Robbie is a likable sleuth who is smart and doesn't take
foolish risks when digging for information. Maddie Day
tempers the suspense and thrills with a little humor.
The secondary characters in FLIPPED FOR MURDER, like
Robbie's Aunt Adele and friend Phil, are a big part of
what makes this story so enjoyable. These characters keep
things light in the face of murder and danger lurking
around every corner. I also like the smidgen of romance
between Robbie and her sweet real estate lawyer. These
characters also provide good sounding boards for Robbie
as she tries to figure things out. Robbie's late mother
is also a strong presence in this story and feels like an
unseen supporting character.
FLIPPED FOR MURDER has everything I look for in a
cozymdash;
small town quirkiness, an engaging mystery, and a lead
character surrounded by friends, and a hint of romance. I
look forward to reading the next book in this charming
cozy mystery series by Maddie day.

blooded killer--before she's the next to die...
