While Robbie scrambles through breakfast orders for her expanding clientele at Pans ‘N Pancakes, tempers run as high as the sticky August heat in South Lick, Indiana. Real-estate developer Fiona Closs plans to build a towering luxury resort at one of the most scenic hilltops in Brown County, and not everyone can see the sunny side of the imposing proposition—including Robbie’s furious Aunt Adele, who doesn’t waste a minute concocting protests and road blockades. When tensions boil over and a vocal protester is silenced forever at the resort site, Robbie ditches the griddle to catch the killer. But if slashed tires are any indication, she’ll need to crack this case before her own aunt gets served something deadly next . . .
Phew! Maddie Day has done an excellent job of raising the temperatures in South Lick and the tensions in her book! 8 out of 5!
The heat is on in South Lick, Indiana and not just the thermometer, there is a resort before the planning committee and the local townsfolk are well and truly divided between wanting it to happen and hating the very idea of it, Robbie's Aunt Adele falls in the latter camp and she is determined to be a disruptive as possible, it doesn't help matters when Robbie goes cycling up to see what the fuss is about, only to discover they believe it will pass without a hitch and so they have started work by clearing the trees! It turns out that one of her B & B guests is an environmental lawyer and he is prepared to act with Adele and the rest of the protesters on a Pro Bono basis, but before too much can happen he ends up well and truly dead.
Now Robbie is stuck in the middle between those that want her to support the protest and those that want her to talk the protesters down, add in the fact that her boyfriend is away on a course, Adele is suffering from a rash of vandalism, and then the vandal strikes at Robbie and so she is determined to help the police out to find the murderer … whether the police want her help or not!
