Every time I read a book in this series, I gain 5 lbs just thinking about all the wonderful food served up at Pans N Pancakes! I like that this series is more than a mystery, it's a strong community of likable and relatable people that make you feel like you know them personally.

In this book, a developer is in town trying to build a resort just outside of town and not everyone is happy about it, chiefly Robbie's aunt Adele and her cronies who plan to do everything they can to prevent it from happening. A lawyer happens to be visiting South Lick and offers to take up the cause and is later found murdered at the resort building site. Robbie jumps into action to solve the case while juggling the diner, Adele's campaigning and keeping the peace on both sides. What a handful!

The plot moved along swiftly with lots of suspects, leading up to an action packed ending that kept me glued to the book. Another great read in a lovable series, looking forward to the next!
