Suzanne, Toni, and Petra are three friends who opened a cafe
based around egg dishes, the Cackleberry Club. Suzanne as
the owner of the cafe, a knitting shop, and a book store
worries about keeping the businesses she created afloat in a
difficult economy.
Toni keeps talking about divorcing her husband and Petra is
dealing with the ravages of her husband's Alzheimers.
Suzanne has a meeting with the local banker on this snowy
day with blizzard conditions. She is stunned when he comes
speeding up on a snowmobile but even more stunned when he
doesn't come in the cafe.
Suzanne finds the man decapitated by some wire hung between
two trees. When some of her closest neighbors are suspected
of the murder, Suzanne is forced into investigating the
death. She hates to think that someone in their small town
and someone she knows is capable of such brutality.
Laura Childs writes an intelligent story. Suzanne, Toni,
and Petra are very different in personality but have formed
a friendship which will sustain them through difficult
times. With the local Fire and Ice festival going on and a
young man sneaking into her store at night, Suzanne has
plenty to divert her attention. Ms. Childs does a fantastic
job of imparting the good and the bad of small town living
as we follow the adventures of the three women. The
identity of the killer is hidden very well keeping the
reader actively involved STAKE & EGGS. Fans won't want to
miss this latest in the series.
