Country Store Mystery #13
Scone Cold Dead
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 . . .

#SconeColdDead #NetGalley is a whirlwind adventure you won't want to miss.
Robbie is just weeks away from giving birth, and getting caught up in another murder investigation is not part of her plan.
I loved this book and I was so anxious for Robbie during the entire book. Every time she felt a twinge, I was telling her to rest and relax.
This book really makes my heart fill with joy, not only for a brand new baby character, but because Robbie was wicked in this book. She was so strong and fearless at times, I was so proud of her.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.
