Scone Cold Dead (Country Store Mystery Book # 13) by Maddie Day

After a body is found in a local farmer’s field, country store and café owner Robbie Jordan suspects that a newcomer in South Lick, Indiana, may not be a stranger to everyone in town . . .

Robbie is just weeks away from giving birth. While her husband Abe scrambles to get the house ready for their baby’s arrival, Robbie makes last minute arrangements to keep her shop and restaurant, Pans ’N Pancakes, up and running when she’s on maternity leave. And it seems Robbie and Abe aren’t the only ones grappling with anxiety—a stranger is causing a stir in town and Robbie’s Aunt Adele appears unusually preoccupied at the baby shower . . .
 
But when someone finds a body in the ram field on Adele’s sheep farm, it’s Robbie’s turn to be worried. Especially after Chief Buck Bird uncovers a troubling link between Adele and the possible murder victim. Robbie has no choice but to knit the clues together and solve this mystery before anything else gets flocked up . . .

The Country Store Mystery series by Maddie Day has so much to love !!  And with Scone Cold Dead being the thirteenth book in the series, there is something for all readers to love.  As with any series that has multiple books, fans become honorary members of the family, the community and the story ... and boy or girl ('cuz main character Robbie Jordan is pregnant) I have moved in to South Lick and will remain until the end.

I could go on and on about the series but let's just concentrate on Scone Cold Dead.  Robbie and her husband are expecting their first child together.  Abe already has a son, Sean, who adores Robbie and vice versa.  But before Robbie can give birth, she has to make sure her business, Pans 'N Pancakes, is ready to run without her.  Robbie has the best employees so she should be okay as long as nothing gets in the way those last few weeks.

Unfortunately, as we all know, that is not gonna happen.  There is a newcomer to town, Ivan, and Robbie meets him at the restaurant and soon learns that he is looking for her aunt Adele.  Then she finds out Adele's boyfriend, Samuel, found Ivan dead in one of the animal enclosures on the property.

Robbie also finds out that there are a number of people who knew Ivan a long time ago and there are secrets every where.  Not only is that troubling for Robbie who cannot help wanting to solve things, especially ones surrounding her loved ones, but her little bundle of joy is letting her know that they want out ... but there are still too many things that need addressing before that can happen.

Oh how I could go on and on about more things but if you are a fan of this series, you don't need me telling you things you already know.  And if you aren't a fan yet, I am holding you up from opening the books up and digging in.  Happy reading !!!
