Lights. Camera. Murder? Wildwood Cove’s star turn is soured by a sneaky killer in this delicious cozy mystery from the USA Today bestselling author of The Crêpes of Wrath. Bonus content: includes original recipes inspired by the Flip Side Pancake House menu!

With a Hollywood film crew in town to shoot a remake of the horror classic The Perishing, the residents of Wildwood Cove are all abuzz. Even Marley McKinney, owner of The Flip Side Pancake House, can overlook the fact that the lead actress, Alyssa Jayde, happens to be an old flame of her boyfriend. After all, the crew loves Marley’s crêpes—so much so that Christine, the head makeup artist, invites her onset for a behind-the-scenes tour. But when Marley arrives, the special-effects trailer is on fire . . . with Christine inside. The cops quickly rule Christine’s death a murder, and Alyssa a suspect. Marley’s boyfriend insists that the actress is innocent, but when Marley sticks her nose into the complicated lives of The Perishing’s cast and crew, she discovers more questions than answers. It seems that everyone has a hidden agenda—and a plausible motive. And as the horror spills over from the silver screen, Marley gets a funny feeling that she may be the killer’s next victim.

Sarah Fox’s addictive Pancake House Mysteries can be enjoyed together or à la carte: THE CRÊPES OF WRATH | FOR WHOM THE BREAD ROLLS | OF SPICE AND MEN

Review: Another great adventure with Marley and company! This is a quick, easy read. It is a fun yet suspenseful story--you'll find humor, mystery, romance, and a look at what happens when a movie crew comes to town.

As someone who has read all three of these books, I am glad to see some of the secondary characters being more developed in this one (in particular, Marley's chef). Looking forward to seeing others get their chance to shine in the future.

Synopsis: In the debut of a delightful cozy mystery series, Sarah Fox introduces a charming new heroine who finds herself in a sticky situation: stacking pancakes, pouring coffee, and investigating murder.

When Marley McKinney’s aging cousin, Jimmy, is hospitalized with pneumonia, she agrees to help run his pancake house while he recovers. With its rustic interior and syrupy scent, the Flip Side Pancake House is just as she pictured it—and the surly chef is a wizard with crêpes. Marley expects to spend a leisurely week or two in Wildwood Cove, the quaint, coastal community where she used to spend her summers, but then Cousin Jimmy is found murdered, sprawled on the rocks beneath a nearby cliff.

After she stumbles across evidence of stolen goods in Jimmy’s workshop, Marley is determined to find out what’s really going on in the not-so-quiet town of Wildwood Cove. With help from her childhood crush and her adopted cat, Flapjack, Marley sinks her teeth into the investigation. But if she’s not careful, she’s going to get burned by a killer who’s only interested in serving up trouble.


Review: A wonderful introduction to a brand new cozy mystery series. Marley and the other main characters are fully introduced to readers so that we can feel as if we really get to know them through the course of this story.

I love that even though Marley is something of an outsider in Wildwood Cove, she is drawn into a tight circle of friends and co-workers almost immediately, and even more so after Jimmy dies. She wants to solve the murder and get back to her life in Seattle, but the longer she stays in town, the more torn she is about leaving.  You'll definitely find yourself having an opinion on what she should do with her life.  :)

Along with the fun characters and the quaint location, there is plenty of humor to go along with the mystery. I look forward to spending more time at the pancake house and in Wildwood Cove in the future.

**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.**
