Grilled for Murder by Maddie Day

 

Book two in the Country Store Mysteries series. Welcome back to French Lick, Indiana and the absolutely adorable country store that Robbie runs. Business is booming despite the events in the first book at least until Robbie goes to open the morning after a private party to find the guest of honor dead in the middle of the floor. Her best friend Phil is accused of her murder which makes Robbie start asking questions to clear his name and save her business though she did not realize she held an important clue the whole time. This is a well written cozy mystery that has a nice flow, with strong characters, and a story line to keep the reader hooked yet guessing at the identity of the killer. The clues are nice touches that tie the whole thing together as well as the store itself which I may have fallen in love with. This is a must read for fans of culinary cozy mysteries (*some recipes included). I really enjoyed it so I give it 4/5 stars.
