Batter Off Dead

Written by Maddie Day

Narrated by Laural Merlington

In South Lick, Indiana, fine foods and classic cookware can be found at Robbie Jordan's Pans 'N Pancakes. Unfortunately, her country store also seems to stock up on murder . . .

Robbie and her new husband Abe O'Neill are enjoying a summer evening in the park with fellow townsfolk excited for some Friday night fireworks. In attendance are senior residents from Jupiter Springs Assisted Living, including Roy Bird, father to South Lick's very own Police Lieutenant Buck Bird. Despite his blindness, Roy is a member of his group home's knitting circle, spending quality time with some lovely ladies.

But when the lightshow ends, one of the knitters who sat with Roy is found dead, a puncture wound in her neck. The poor woman's death echoes that of Buck's mother and Roy's wife-an unsolved homicide. To help find the killer, Robbie's going to have to untangle the knotty relationships deep in the victim's past . . .

Reviews for Batter Off Dead

[Renee · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Story line was an enjoyable listen. Heard the 2nd storyline inconsistency. It's impled that Robbie doesn't know Buck's wife when she was at her wedding with Buck. I look forward to the next book in this series.
