When it comes to creating an engaging mystery, Laura Childs just can’t lay an egg. Now, the author of the popular Tea Shop and Scrapbooking series dishes up her third “soft-boiled” cozy starring the yolk-slinging ladies of the Cackleberry café.
With its breakfast-lovers theme, book nook and knitting nest, the Cackleberry Club has become the eatery of choice in small-town Kindred, Tennessee…and soon the customers will be flocking in droves. As Bedeviled Eggs unfolds, Suzanne, Toni and Petra are hosting their first “read dating” mixer—an event where singles compare literary tastes. To their delight, the event is a success. Then tragedy strikes. As mayoral candidate Chuck Peebler leaves the back way, he is struck by a crossbow arrow and killed instantly.
A murder on their doorstep should be bad for business, especially when another victim turns up on the historic Quilt Trail. Oddly, it's not, and soon Suzanne has more than enough mystery on her plate. Between nasty run-ins with both a jealous rival and a muckraking reporter, Suzanne must help Sheriff Doogie handle a prison break, rescued dogs and dirty politics. But can she crack the case before she's the next target of a rotten egg? Recipes.
