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.
