Fried Eggs and Foul Play: A Diner Cozy Mystery (The Mad Egg Diner Mystery Series Book 6)
By Constance Barker
Welcome to The Mad Egg Diner Where the Eggs are Over Easy and the Murder is Hard Boiled
Melody Bristol is becoming quite adept at murder mysteries – unraveling them, to be precise.
Despite the austere Police Chief’s constant pressure, the professional and personal bond between Melody and the cowboy policeman Gabe continues to flourish. Having cracked five murder cases and confessed their mutual affection, they are blissfully contemplating a shared future.
However, their tranquility is disrupted when Sly Carrera becomes the latest victim of a murder most peculiar.
Intriguingly, Sly was killed via a lethal injection of Botox – an unconventional modus operandi that leaves Melody and Gabe confounded. As they delve into the case, they quickly realize that there was no shortage of individuals who wished Sly harm.
Indeed, it seems everyone in town had a motive.
Among the slew of suspects are a disgruntled business partner, an eccentric beautician, an enraged landscaper, and the list doesn’t end there. Even their good friend Gideon finds himself under suspicion, due to his diabetes-related adeptness with needles and his intense dislike for the insincere Sly.
But Melody is haunted by a hunch that these individual murders are somehow linked to the enigmatic criminal syndicate they are yet to fully comprehend.
What illicit activities are they involved in? Who is the elusive mastermind behind the organization?
And what compels them to target these local residents?
With the unyielding support of her friends, her love Gabe, and the townspeople, Melody is determined to expose Cascade, Colorado’s sinister underbelly, regardless of the challenges she must confront.
However, she is woefully unprepared for just how close to home this investigation will hit.
