Beginning:
The lights of The Flip Side Pancake House shone like warm beacons in the dreary darkness of the foggy March morning.Friday 56:
My chest ached with grief for a moment and my eyes watered, but the happiness and the sense of peace my decision had brought me overpowered my pain and the threat of tears subsided.This week I am reading The Crepes of Wrath by Sarah Fox from my review stack. I got this one from NetGalley. Here is the description from Amazon:
In the debut of a delightful cozy mystery series, Sarah Fox introduces a charming new heroine who finds herself in a sticky situation: stacking pancakes, pouring coffee, and investigating murder.
Bonus content: includes original recipes inspired by the Flip Side Pancake House menu!
When Marley McKinney’s aging cousin, Jimmy, is hospitalized with pneumonia, she agrees to help run his pancake house while he recovers. With its rustic interior and syrupy scent, the Flip Side Pancake House is just as she pictured it—and the surly chef is a wizard with crêpes. Marley expects to spend a leisurely week or two in Wildwood Cove, the quaint, coastal community where she used to spend her summers, but then Cousin Jimmy is found murdered, sprawled on the rocks beneath a nearby cliff.
After she stumbles across evidence of stolen goods in Jimmy’s workshop, Marley is determined to find out what’s really going on in the not-so-quiet town of Wildwood Cove. With help from her childhood crush and her adopted cat, Flapjack, Marley sinks her teeth into the investigation. But if she’s not careful, she’s going to get burned by a killer who’s only interested in serving up trouble.
I just read a review for this and it sounds like one I'd enjoy. Such a visual beginning scene. And I love the busy cover and fun title.

I have been noticing this title for a while, knowing that the coziness would eventually reel me in. Thanks for sharing....and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good cozy, although maybe more emotional than I usually see. That could be a good thing though. :-)
