Congratulations to our own Maddie Day on the publication of her twelfth Country Store Mystery, DEEP FRIED DEATH!
Deep Fried Death
In the latest Country Store Mystery by Agatha and Macavity Award-winning author Maddie Day, a killer strikes - with a cast iron skillet - during South Lick, Indiana's annual Outhouse Race festivities, landing Pans 'N Pancakes-owner Robbie Jordan on the suspect list...
Many residents of South Lick, Indiana, claim the Outhouse Race, in which competitors push old-timey outhouse replicas on wheels at the annual Abe Martin Festival on Memorial Day, is the best thing since indoor plumbing. Just because country store and restaurant owner Robbie Jordan has too much to do managing her new deep fryer as well as an old lover reappearing, she’s not going to miss out on the fun. Plus, it’s good for business.
But when a dead body and a cast-iron skillet tumble out of the Pans ’N Pancakes outhouse entry on the race route, it seems someone is trying to frame Robbie—in a most unconventional way. Now she’ll need to be privy to the townsfolks’ secrets as she races to flush out a killer . . .
This sounds hilarious. Can't wait to read it. When we bought a farm in 1969, it did not have indoor plumbing. That winter, of course, we had an unbelievable amount of snow in Ontario. Going to the bathroom was not a fun excursion, even for my 8 year old self. A race sounds like a much better time, although not with a dead body in it. We only had to worry about spiders, snakes and dropping the flashlight down the hole at night.
