In book seven of the Cackleberry
Club series by Laura Childs, Suzanne
heads over to a neighboring dairy farm to pick up some
wheels of cheese
when she notices that Mike, the farmer, isn't there. After
some further
investigation, she discovers him dead. Now, the mystery of
what happened
to this nice man drives this story forward and the twist at
the end is sure to
delight Mystery readers.
I'm a big fan of Laura Childs' way of writing. She doesn't
waste any time
with
too much banter but kicks the mystery off from the very
beginning. Also,
these stories are very easy to follow so whether you are a
novice to the
genre or a long-time reader, there's plenty to love with EGG
DROP DEAD.
What makes this series even more fun is the friendships
forged between
Suzanne, Petra and Toni. These ladies are a thrill to read
about. I love their
sass and their playfulness. It brings much needed light to
this series. Another
great thing about this series is that it has a nice
small-town feel to it. This
book in particular is also Halloween themed so I think it's
a really nice book
to read to make you feel a little more festive.
I wish this book went on forever because I loved it that
much. EGG DROP
DEAD is full of surprises, laughs and a great mystery.
Readers won't want to
miss this one!
In Laura Childs’s New York Times bestselling
mystery series, Suzanne, Petra, and Toni—co-owners of the
Cackleberry Club café—are back to track down another bad
egg…
Maintaining good personal relationships with their suppliers
is one of the secrets of the Cackleberry Club café’s
success, so Suzanne doesn’t mind going out to Mike Mullen’s
dairy farm to pick up some wheels of cheese. She’s looking
forward to a nice visit with the mild-mannered farmer before
heading back to their hectic kitchen.
But when she arrives, Mike’s nowhere to be found. The
moaning of his cows leads her to look in the barn, where she
discovers a bloodcurdling sight—the farmer’s dead body.
Apparently not everyone was as fond of Mike Mullen as the
Cackleberry Club.
Churning with grief and outrage, Suzanne, Petra, and Toni
vow to find the farmer’s murderer—but as they get closer to
the truth, the desperate killer gets whipped into a frenzy
and plans to put the squeeze on them...
