Crêpe Expectations
By Sarah FoxPublisher Description
When a murder case from the past heats up again, it’s up to Marley McKinney to sort through a tall stack of suspects in the latest Pancake House Mystery . . .
Although it’s a soggy start to spring in Wildwood Cove, the weather clears up just in time for the town to host an amateur chef competition. Marley McKinney, owner of the Flip Side pancake house, already signed up to volunteer, and chef Ivan Kaminski is one of the judges. But when Marley visits her landscaper boyfriend Brett at the site of the Victorian mansion that’s being restored as the Wildwood Inn, she discovers something else pushing up daisies: human remains.
The skeleton on the riverbank washed out by the early-spring floodwaters belonged to eighteen-year-old Demetra Kozani, who vanished a decade earlier. While the cold case is reopened, Marley must step in when some of the cook-off contestants fall suspiciously ill. Stuck in a syrupy mess of sabotage and blackmail, it falls to Marley to stop a killer from crêping up on another victim . . .
Includes pancake recipes right from The Flip Side menu!
“Readers will cheer this brisk, literate addition to the world of small-town cozies.”

“I'm not a fan of reading books out of order, and this reminded me why. Although I did enjoy it- the characters are very enjoyable- I feel as though I would have enjoyed it even more had I read the previous books first, so that I better knew their backstory. Throughout the story, there are enough twists to keep you guessing as to who the killer was, I which I always like.
Overall, a fun, easy cozy mystery & I will definitely be getting the first books in the series to catch up!”

“There was a shocking discovery that led to a resolution of an old murder mystery that they didn’t know was a murder mystery. That brings lots of people back to town and there is lots of suspicion going around. The murder and reason comes out of left field, but it was still fine. There is also an amateur cooking competition and some shenanigans there. Marley is going after these answers as much as the murderer, not to mention the maybe relative.
I guess there is a lot going on in this one. We don’t see much of the pancake house in this one. Probably because of all that is going on. We get a little more development in Ivan’s character and Chloe’s as well. There is some development in Marley and Brett’s relationship as well.
I always enjoy a trip to the pancake house and this is a good way to spend an afternoon. But there is almost too much going on.”
