About this audiobook
Wedding bells are in the air-along with the aroma of maple syrup-in the latest Pancake House Mystery. But a series of murders threatens to spoil everyone's appetite . . .
Between tourist season, planning her beach wedding, and running her pancake house, the Flip Side, Marley McKinney is busier than ever. On top of that, one of her regulars is competing in Wildwood Cove's Golden Oldies Games-a sporting event for athletes fifty and over-and Marley wants to cheer her on. Everything's running as smooth as batter-until sports reporter Yvonne Pritchard stirs up a triple batch of trouble . . .
Yvonne has one admirer in town-Ed Herman-but she has many more enemies, from a disgruntled coach to an athlete she once shamed on social media. So when a body washes up on shore, and it's no accident, it's not a complete surprise Yvonne is the victim. And when Ed asks Marley to use her sleuthing skills to solve the crime, she'll have to squeeze in time between squeezing into wedding dresses. Then a second victim turns up, and Marley will have to work at high speed to stop a killer from piling up bodies faster than she can whip up a tall stack . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5"Much Ado About Nutmeg" features pancake house owner Marley as she and her friends help with investigating the deaths of three people in her seaside community. The action occurs during the days of the Golden Oldies Games. Quite a few people serve as suspects in the death of a much-disliked newspaper reporter. Marley and her friends do a lot of observing and questioning as they seek answers that will help local law enforcement solve the crime. Jealousy, secrets, and hidden motives add to the intrigue of this novel.Wildwood Cove sets the scene, and serves as a cozy seaside town backdrop for the story. Readers will find the characters likeable, with the exception of Yvonne, the reporter, who is easy to despise. This is a clean mystery novel, with no overt violence, intimacy, or swear words. It is not necessary to read the previous books in the series to understand this one. The only issue I had was trying to keep the many characters straight.I received this book from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Wildwood Cove is hosting the Golden Oldies Games (think Special Olympics for Seniors) but before the competition has started, one of the tennis players has been eliminated - permanently. Then a not so nice Sports reporter isa found dead. Marley from the Flip Side pancake house had met the tennis player and his wife and also seen and heard the reporter so she thinks that she'll try to figure out what happened to both. I love the characters and the setting but this plot left a bit to be desired IMO.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another solid installment, the 6th, in the Pancake House mystery series in which pancake house owner, Marley, is again needed to solve a murder in her small Oregon town. Expanding things beyond the usual townspeople, in this one, there's a wider pool of victims and suspects thanks to the fact that the town is hosting the Golden Oldies Games.Once again, an interesting plot and a terrific cast of characters make this an excellent installment in a very fine cozy series.Highly recommended!!(I received a copy of this book, from the publisher, via Net Galley, in exchange for a fair and honest review.)
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5When a man goes overboard on a yacht and a vicious sports writer's body emerges from the same waters, Marley McKinney, the owner of Flip Side, a pancake house in Wildwood Cove, begins pursuing the case. In spite of reminders from the sheriff about dangers of her involvement, she questions people she encounters who are in town for the Golden Oldies Games. Marley prepares for her wedding with Brett as she runs her business and pokes her nose into the investigation. Although I did not read the previous five installments, I really enjoyed the setting and the central characters for this series. I want to go back and read the earlier installments. It's a perfect read for when you need something on the cozy side. I received an advance electronic copy through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
