I don't think I am going to be able to continue with this one... darn it. This book is 8th in a series and while most series give you good background details in the first few chapters about the characters and are able to be read/listened to as standalones, this book didn't do that. I am lost. I will have to shelve this one and find another for amateur sleuth. Disappointing.
Maintaining good personal relationships with their suppliers is one of the secrets of the Cackleberry Club Café’s success, so Suzanne doesn’t mind going out to Mike Mullen’s dairy farm to pick up some wheels of cheese. She’s looking forward to a nice visit with the mild-mannered farmer before heading back to their hectic kitchen.
But when she arrives, Mike’s nowhere to be found. The moaning of his cows leads her to look in the barn, where she discovers a bloodcurdling sight—the farmer’s dead body. Apparently not everyone was as fond of Mike Mullen as the Cackleberry Club.
Churning with grief and outrage, Suzanne, Petra, and Toni vow to find the farmer’s murderer—but as they get closer to the truth, the desperate killer gets whipped into a frenzy and plans to put the squeeze on them.
I've been growing more fond of books like these lately, I was very happy be the end.
I was thrilled that it wasn't so easily guessed who the guilty party was as well.
I hate when I can guess too easily who it is from the beginning.
I also liked that despite not having read the previous books in the series that it didn't seem necessary to follow and understand whats going on or who everyone is.
Egg Drop Dead is fun, its exciting, and makes a great read for any time of the year for a fun who's who murder mystery.

I didn't think this particular book was up to the standards of the previous books in this series. IMHO, this is the best of Childs' 3 series. I used to like her Tea Shop books, but thought some of the characters just became to pretentious or, in some cases, too tedious. This was still worth reading, just not as good as the others in the series.
I just couldn't get into the characters, the town, or the story. I wanted to -- the 3 gals at the Cacklebery Cafe seem like the kind of women you want to know. But after 50 pages, I just didn't want to keep reading. I just didn't care.I might try another book/series by this author before giving up all together.
Another good read in what is becoming a very solid series. I like Suzanne, Petra & Toni. All the food talk makes me seriously hungry, tho!!
