Eggs in Purgatory
#1 in the Cackleberry Club Mystery series

In a rehabbed Spur station outside the small town of Kindred, three semi-desperate, forty-plus women have launched the Cackleberry Club. Eggs are the morning specialty fluffy omelets, slumbering volcanoes, eggs in purgatory (a lethal combination of eggs, Tabasco sauce, pepper cheese and garlic), toad in the hole, and eggs on a cloud. This cozy little cafe even offers a book nook and yarn shop and business has been good. But two murders, a vicious widow, and a messianic cult leader just might lead to the club s undoing.

Halfway between a cozy and a thriller (a thrillsy!) Eggs in Purgatory offers an exciting read with tea, recipes, knitting, cake decorating, a dash of spirituality, and good sleuthing with three women who are over forty and proud of it.
