Maddie Day (aka Edith Maxwell) is one of my all-time favorite cozy authors. Every series she writes brings a smile to my face and a lightness to my heart. The “A Country Store Mystery” series is never dull. The newest addition, Batter Off Dead, is a perfect example of what this writer and this series exude. The characters are delightfully funny, warm, and alluring. From Robbie and Abe to the seniors that populate the town of South Lick, every one of them will give readers a reason to be happy. Add in fireworks, knitting, murder, and you have a wonderful picture of a lovely town and people that fill you with interest.It's summer, and Robbie and Abe are enjoying marital bliss and fireworks. The seniors from Jupiter Springs assisted living facility are lined up with their knitting and their gossip. Among them is Roy, Police Lieutenant Buck Bird’s father. He may be blind, but he loves his knitting. After the firework show ends, one of the seniors is found dead. Oddly enough, the murder resembles one from long ago, the victim, Buck’s mother. It doesn’t take long for the gossip mill to start churning, and Robbie jumping in headfirst.Suspects are all around; just about anyone could be the killer. During the fireworks, no one would hear anything, and the seniors had been dozing or concentrating on their knitting. The witnesses are numerous, yet no one saw a thing. Or… was there a witness that no one knows about? There are plenty of red herrings to keep readers rooted in their seats. It doesn’t take long for Robbie to connect the dots and come up with the killer's name; even though she doesn’t want to believe it, she is faced with no choice. It doesn’t take her long to figure out that the person who killed Buck’s mother all those years ago is the same person responsible for this latest death.Fireworks explode as the killer and the motive is revealed. The seniors, especially Roy, are grateful for Robbie’s sleuthing skills. Readers will adore the characters and the town. Robbie and Abe will make you believe in love and hope. This book has a lot of fireworks, and not all of them are in the night sky. Batter Off Dead brings Robbie’s country store, the hometown feel of South Lick, and the citizens, seniors, and others to the forefront. It allows readers to enjoy a couple of hours without the worries of the world on their shoulders.
