About the Book
"Includes recipes for you to try!"--Back cover.Book Synopsis
Robbie Jordan's Pans 'N Pancakes boasts delicious eats and the best vintage cookware finds in South Lick, Indiana. And now, for a limited time, there's a new special featured on the menu--murder! Ever since meeting the wary owners of an antique shop opening across the street, Robbie has been scrambling to manage weird incidences plaguing her café and country store. Pricey items vanish from shelves without explanation, a fully equipped breakfast food truck starts lingering around the area each morning, and loyal diners mysteriously fall ill. When an elderly man dies after devouring an omelet packed with poisonous mushrooms, Robbie must temporarily close down Pans 'N Pancakes and search for the killer with a real zest for running her out of business--or else.Review Quotes
Praise for Maddie Day MURDER AT THE TAFFY SHOP "A bike shop owner and her book club pals keep solving mysteries in ways that somehow don't endear them to the police."
--Kirkus Reviews MURDER ON CAPE COD "A family tie always makes the search for a killer more meaningful, and Day uses her brisk, well-honed storytelling chops to illuminate Mac's unusual but loving family . . . Like Carolyn Hart before her, Day is doing a great service to the community of mystery writers who write the cozies that really power much of the mystery genre, and she reaches through her pages to readers to gently recommend other authors, just as Carolyn Hart did with her Death on Demand series."
--Mystery Scene FLIPPED FOR MURDER "What a terrific debut! This deliciously clever cozy--set in a deceptively charming little town--is fresh, intelligent and delightful. A winner!"
--Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony, Macavity and Mary Higgins Clark award-winning author "You'll flip for this mouth-watering new series. In Flipped For Murder, Maddy Day serves up a tasty mystery with a side of scenic country charm. Chef Robbie Jodan is smart, quick-witted, and determined to make her Pans 'n Pancakes café a success. Stir in secrets from the past, a dollop of blackmail, a cast of credible suspects, and a cat named Birdy for a delicious read. The rolling hills of southern Indiana never looked so inviting--or so dangerous."
--Leslie Budewitz, two-time Agatha Award winning author of the Food Lovers' Village Mysteries "It's yummy fun, but don't read it when you're hungry. Unless you're hungry for a good book, and not breakfast!"
--Suspense Magazine

No Grater Crime by Maddie Day is the 9th A Country Store Mystery. It can be read as a standalone if you are new to the series (but you will be missing out on some cute country cozy mysteries). Robbie Jordan is getting married in a month and still has some details to finalize. Her life becomes complicated when customers become ill after eating her mushroom omelet. Her restaurant is shut down leaving Robbie with unanswered questions and a dead patron. To top it off, some of her vintage implements have disappeared and a food truck opens across the street. No Grater Crime is a cute story that is action packed. I have been looking forward to Robbie and Abe’s wedding. They are such a sweet couple. I thought the author captured the area with her word imagery (of South Lick, Indiana) plus the dialects, dialogue, and references to nearby cities. It is funny how people call items by different names depending on what area of the country they are from. One example is soda. When I lived in Ohio, we called it pop. When I moved to Florida, I was told it was soda. I like that the author includes different examples. The mystery was interesting. There are multiple suspects in this whodunit that easily could have done the deed including Abe’s ex-wife. I had a good time following the mystery and seeing how it turned it (I love to solve the crimes). I would have liked a more thorough wrap-up. I was also baffled as to why Robbie never reported the missing items. It seemed odd. The ending will delight fans of the series. No Grater Crime is an enticing tale with mortal mushrooms, a purloined utensil, a lookie-loo, food truck trouble, and a wonderful wedding.
