In USA Today bestselling author Sarah Fox’s delicious new Pancake House Mystery, it’s up to Marley McKinney to discover the waffle truth behind a rival’s murder . . .

Winter has come to Wildwood Cove, and riding in on the chill is Wally Fowler. Although he’s been away for years, establishing his reputation as the self-proclaimed Waffle King, the wealthy blowhard has returned to the coastal community to make money, not friends—by pitting his hot and trendy Waffle Kingdom against Marley McKinney’s cozy pancake house, The Flip Side. Wally doesn’t see anything wrong in a little healthy competition, until he’s murdered in his own state-of-the art kitchen.
Marley isn’t surprised when the authorities sniff around The Flip Side for a motive, but it’s her best friend Lisa who gets grilled, given her sticky history with the victim. When a second murder rocks the town, it makes it harder than ever for Marley to clear Lisa’s name. Marley’s afraid that she’s next in line to die—and the way things are looking, the odds of surviving her investigation could be stacked against her.




Marley McKinney doesn't know the self proclaimed Waffle King who has come to town, but it seems plenty of others do. None of them are happy about his return. While it seems his wish is to drive the Flip Side out of business with showy modern techniques, Marley isn't worried about her loyal customers leaving her. However when the waffle king ends up face down in the batter, the Flip Side's chef and Marley's best friend, Lisa, are both prime suspects.
There are also some family themes explored in this book, as Brett is dealing with his father's heart attack and Marley discovers journals from a relative who disappeared amongst scandal many years before. I was really interested in that secondary investigation.

All around a well enjoyed addition to this delightful series.
