In this freshly baked series, author Maddie Day lifts the lid on a small town in southern Indiana, where a newcomer is cooking up a new start--until a murderer muddles the recipe...

Nursing a broken heart, Robbie Jordan is trading in her life on the West Coast for the rolling hills of southern Indiana. After paying a visit to her Aunt Adele, she fell in love with the tiny town of South Lick. And when she spots a For Sale sign on a rundown country store, she decides to snap it up and put her skills as a cook and a carpenter to use. Everyone in town shows up for the grand re-opening of Pans ‘n Pancakes, but when the mayor's disagreeable assistant is found dead, Robbie realizes that not all press is good press. With all eyes on her, she'll have to summon her puzzle-solving skills to clear her name, unscramble the town's darkest secrets, and track down a cold-blooded killer--before she's the next to die...

A Bit Off

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

I didn’t think I’d read the series since the first book wasn’t riveting but I ended up getting drawn in. The thing that stuck out beyond the usual was the constant drinking and any time of the day. And it doesn’t seem to be an Indiana custom since the Cape Cod series is also heavy on beer and hard drinks. What’s up with that? Seems unnecessary.

This first book took some getting used to through all the boring good preps. Getting acquainted with Robbie was okay and I can't wait til she meets her father that she never knew growing up.

This is a fun mystery that takes place in a small town close to Bloomington, Indiana. Roberta, or Robbie as she likes to be called, opens a restaurant. Stella, the mayor's assistant, is found murdered! Who is the murderer and why are they trying to make it look like Robbie killed Stella?

Fast Paced Series Debut

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 6, 2016

Roberta "Robbie" Jordan has finally made it to opening day of her new cafe, Pans n' Pancakes. With the help of her late mother's sister, Adele, and some friends, the day is a huge success. The road to Pans n' Pancakes wasn't easy and took Robbie hard work and determination, especially since the Mayor's assistant, Stella, was difficult.

When Stella is found dead in her home, between the incriminating evidence at the scene, and the known difficulties regarding Pans n' Pancakes, Robbie finds herself one of the main suspects. Now it's up to Robbie to piece together what she can and prove she isn't a murderer.

During the investigation, Robbie also discovers some information about her family tree. Upon further searching, she finds that there are people in the town of South Lick, Indiana that could be tied to her father - in turn, tying them to Stella. The town is full of secrets, backstabbing, and blackmail. Will Robbie figure out how everything is tied together before it's too late?

Flipped For Murder is a really good first book in Maddie Day's new Country Store Mystery series. The plot is full of twists and turns that keep you guessing about a lot of different things. The author did a great job adding different plot lines into the story and then connecting them all at the end. The whos, whats, and whys of the story are engaging and the reader will not want to put down the book. Several of the characters introduced in Flipped For Murder could be who murdered Stella, as they all have motive.

Robbie is a great main character. She's realistically written as a kind, generous person who had a dream and worked hard to make it a reality. She treats people with respect and dignity, the perfect person to work in a retail/food establishment. The secondary characters all have their perfect places within the pages of the novel.

I enjoyed the world building in South Lick, Indiana. Robbie's roots are there and she's able to find out things from her family's past - some good, some bad. The interwoven storylines keep the story exciting and engaging. If you are looking for a cozy mystery that is fast paced (never a dull moment) and will keep you on the edge of your seat, I suggest you give Flipped For Murder a try!

Excellent start of this series!!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2022

I love the start of this series!!!!
Robbie Jordan has gone through a lot of stuff, but she made out great!!!!
She has got Aunt Adele behind her success with along with Jim her lawyer, Danna the Mayor's daughter, and a few other people.
When certain people didn't want her to keep her restaurant/store open because it is a bit and her food is way better than Ed's, things start happening and she figures it out. It took her awhile to prove it to Officer Buck, but when it starts adding up he got on it!!!!
Then it really got serious when she was a number one suspect for murder and she didn't even know the most hated person in town.
Now, you have to read it to find out!!!!

I could not put this book down. It had everything I love, beautiful autumn weather, antique cookware, country town and hardworking young cook opening her own country restaurant. That's not even mentioning a murder, lots of suspects, two good-looking men, lots of new friends and a cute kitty to adopt! What's not to love......It's actually a TEN in my rating. I guarantee you will enjoy it!

While this book didn't blow me away, it was interesting enough that I will read the second in the series. One thing I loved about the heroine is that she loved her alcohol. Wine beer whiskey – she seemed to be imbibing all day.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 16, 2022

This was a lovely cozy. It was nice reading about Robbie and her new restaurant and store, Pans 'N Pancakes. I liked that Robbie wasn't the typical amateur sleuth either. She discovered who the murderer was through circumstance. I figured out who the murderer was fairly quickly, but I still enjoyed the story. I also loved how Robbie discovered who her dad is and had a little cat adopt her.

Great cozy mystery. Interesting characters. I like the setting a small town and I would love to have breakfast at Pans N Pancakes.
Good idea to have the recipes at the end of the book instead of mixed in with the story. I can hardly wait to read the second book in this series.
I like the fact that the author did not go overboard on social media terms in the story. Get enough of that in real life. Email and tablets used just the right amount. Thank you for that. The Kentucky jokes are funny.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 13, 2018

This series is excellent. It truly is a cozy mystery. Robbie (short for Roberta) Jordan is a somewhat newcomer in South Lick, in Southern Indiana. She opens a new country store / restaurant, where she serves gourmet style breakfasts and mom and pop style lunches with a twist. People love this new place until the new Mayor's assistant is murdered and Robbie is one of the suspects.

Robbie frantically tries to rally herself and her restaurant when people begin staying away because of rumours she might be a killer. Robbie is also an avid puzzle solver and cannot help herself from trying to solve the mystery. Read to find out what happens!

Pancakes and pandemonium. Book 1 is a fine start when a blackmailer gets whats coming to her. Robbie jordans business nearly gets shut down and romance comes to call. Love the characters. Keep them coming maddie.
