While Petra handles the breakfast rush at the Cackleberry Club, the café’s other two owners, Suzanne and Toni, head to Memorial Cemetery to help prepare for its 150th-anniversary celebration. But as they search the winding paths for the historical-society tent, they discover something else out of place: the body of ex-prison warden Lester Drummond lying face down in someone else’s freshly dug grave. In the small town of Kindred, everyone knows everyone, and Lester was no exception. Suzanne knew him as the creepy guy who made unwanted advances on her friend Missy Langston. But now it appears the man was hiding a few secrets...and at least one of them was worth killing for. As the case cracks open, there are plenty of suspects to consider—from recent parolees to Missy herself, who Suzanne and Toni saw speeding away just before they found the body. Now, with a cemetery celebration in the offing, and the local authorities in over their heads, it’s up to the Cackleberry Club to unscramble the clues and clear their friend’s name.

Cackleberry Club Mystery

Eggs in a Casket

Suzanne, Toni, and Petra found a second life after losing their husbands—opening their own successful business, the Cackleberry Club Cafè. But the three women never expected sleuthing to be the special of the day. When a snowmobile crashes into the woods behind the Cackleberry Club Cafè, Suzanne finds her town’s most-hated banker beheaded by a wire staked in the snow. Now some of her best customers are prime suspects with a bushel of motives, and the murder investigation is snowballing. An elusive young runaway may be the Cackleberry Club’s only way to crack the case...provided Suzanne can keep her head long enough to track down the cold-blooded killer.

Stake & Eggs

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 the café’s 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 was. 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...

Egg Drop Dead

After losing their husbands, Suzanne, Toni, and Petra bonded, gaining newfound independence as well as a wealth of support, inspiration, home-baked goods, and their own business. But who would have dreamed that when the Cackleberry Club Café opened its doors, the three women would be serving justice to criminals? Getting ready for Halloween, the ladies at the Cackleberry Club Café are busy carving jack-o'-lanterns, stocking up on candy, and baking pumpkin bread. But someone's jumped the gun on the tricks. As mayoral candidate Chuck Peebler leaves the café, he gets struck with a crossbow arrow and is killed instantly. When another murder occurs on the historical society's Quilt Trail, there's no disguising it—a murderer is running loose in the town of Kindred. Now Suzanne's on the beat to sniff out one bag egg.

Bedeviled Eggs

Suzanne, Toni, and Petra lost their husbands but found independence—and, in each other, a life raft of support, inspiration, fresh baked goods, and their own business. But when the Cackleberry Club cafe opened its doors in the town of Kindred, who'd have guessed that the three women would be working a double shift as amateur sleuths? When Suzanne stops by the local funeral home to deliver a pie to funeral director Ozzie Driesden, she discovers him not working at the embalming table but lying on it. She barely has time to recognize his corpse before she's drugged with chloroform. With more suspects than breakfast specials, the Cackleberry Club scrambles to crack the case before one of their own ends up six feet under.

Eggs Benedict Arnold

After losing their husbands, Suzanne, Toni, and Petra find independence when they open the Cackleberry Club. When a lawyer is murdered with a secret on his lips and egg on his face, their cozy cafe becomes the scene of a crime. In order to save their cafe, the trio will need to investigate the connections between a religious cult and Suzanne's past. But will putting their noses where they don't belong put Suzanne's life on the line?

Eggs in Purgatory

Suzanne Dietz, co-owner of the Cackleberry Club Café, is visiting her fiancé, Dr. Sam Hazelet, when a masked gunman bursts into the emergency room. He shoots two people and would probably have done more damage had Suzanne not brained him with a thermos full of chili. Still, the gunman manages to escape. Now the ladies of the Cackleberry Club are determined to find the killer before he finds them.

Cackleberry

Egg Shooters

Some say that casting crusty attorney Allen Sharpe as Scrooge in the Kindred Players production of A Christmas Carol is just playing to type. He's not the most beloved man in town. In fact, you'd have a dickens of a time finding someone who liked him. Still, it's a shock when the Ghost of Christmas Past stabs him during the first rehearsal. Suzanne, the co-owner of the Cackleberry Club Cafe (Kindred's favorite combination diner, craft store, and bookshop), chases the murderer out of the building but loses him in the alley. As the days pass, the list of suspects grows longer. Is it the disgruntled partner? The former secretary whom Sharpe sexually harassed? Or is it Suzanne's fellow owner of the Cackleberry Club, Toni's almost ex-husband, Junior? The women of the Cackleberry Club are determined to find the killer before he can add another victim to his Christmas list.

Eggs on Ice

Getting her hair colored at Root 66, Suzanne is stunned to witness the County Services office next door suddenly go up in flames. Sadly, the fire claims the life of longtime civil-service worker—and friend to the Cackleberry Club—Hannah Venable. When it’s discovered that an accelerant was used to fan the flames, Suzanne, Petra, and Toni vow to smoke out the culprit. When Suzanne finds a possible connection between the fire and the nearby Prairie Star Casino, she comes to realize that the arsonist wanted something very big and bad kept secret. And if the ladies aren’t careful, they may be the ones gambling with their lives.

Scorched Eggs

Hochzeit mit Todesfall. Theodosia Browning, Inhaberin des Indigo des Shops, ist zu dem gesellschaftlichen Ereignis des Jahres eingeladen: die Verlobungsfeier von Camille Cantroux mit einem Marineoffizier aus wohlhabender Familie. Der Trauring, ein kostbares Familienerbstück, ist das Gesprächsthema des Abends, denn er enthält einen Diamanten, der einmal zur Krone von Marie Antoinette gehörte. Auf einmal lässt ein gewaltiger Krach alle Partygäste verstummen. Unter dem eingestürzten Glasdach des Gartenzimmers findet man den erschlagenen Bräutigam - ein tragischer Unfall, so scheint es. Doch warum ist der Trauring, der in dem Gartenzimmer ausgestellt war, auf einmal verschwunden? Hobbydetektivin Theodosia Browning ist misstrauisch und sieht nur eine Lösung: sie muss selber nachforschen, was es mit dem verschwundenen Ring auf sich hat ... Mit ausführlichen Rezepten und köstlichen Tee-Ideen im Anhang.

Tea Shop Mystery

Es muss nicht immer Mord sein

Regatta mit Todesfall. Theodosia Browning ist glücklich: Ihr kleiner Indigo Tea Shop ist inzwischen zu einer festen Einrichtung in dem Hafenstädtchen Charleston geworden. Dieses Jahr kommt ihr sogar die Ehre zu, das Picknick zur alljährlichen "Isle of Palms"-Regatta auszurichten. Wetter und Stimmung könnten nicht besser sein und die Gäste sind begeistert von Theodosias neuer - eigens für diesen Anlass kreierten - Teemischung. Als sich die ersten Boote dem Ziel nähern, zerreißt ein Schuss die gespannte Stille - das traditionelle Signal, dass die Regatta zu Ende ist. Doch dann sinkt der wohlhabende und angesehene Geschäftsmann Oliver Dixon getroffen zu Boden. Alles deutet auf einen tragischen Unfall hin. Theodosia kann jedoch nicht glauben, dass Dixons Tod ein Unfall gewesen sein soll, und forscht auf eigene Faust nach. Und schon bald bringen sie ihre Nachforschungen gefährlich nahe an des Rätsels Lösung ...
