I really have found myself enjoying the Country Store series by Maddie Day. The main character, Robbie, is a hard-working businesswoman and this is demonstrated in the story lines. Death Over Easy is the 5th book and is set amidst a Bluegrass Festival being hosted in Southern Indiana. I have family from IN and now several of my son's friends attend IU in Bloomington so I can relate to many of the locations mentioned in the story. As I have mentioned previously I appreciate books more when I have the connections.
The mystery is quite involved and actually contains 2 victims in this book. I liked the structure and felt it was laid out well. My only complaint was the abruptness with which the story ended. It felt almost like an, "have reached my page limit better finish" The mystery was wrapped up it was just a bit rushed. Didn't bother me enough to stop reading the series but I do hope it's an anomaly.
Death Over Easy by Maddie Day
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
music festival and murder
Robbie Jordan finds herself mixed up in another murder investigation. This one happens while trying to enjoy a bluegrass festival and a visit with her Italian father. There are lots of individuals suspected by the police among her B&B guests, friends, and family. All in all I enjoyed the book although I did find the resolution to be a bit abrupt. It almost felt like someone asaid you have to finish in the next 10 pages no matter how rushed it felt. I still enjoyed the story I just left feeling a bit disappointed
