~The Ninja Librarian
Biscuits and Slashed Browns is an entertaining cozy mystery that has the traditional feel that I enjoy.
~The Power of Words
The mystery is solid and there are unexpected turns – the killer isn’t obvious until the end.
~Christa Reads and Writes
The interwoven storylines keep the story fresh, exciting, and engaging. If you are looking for a cozy mystery that is fast-paced (never a dull moment) and will keep you on the edge of your seat, I suggest you give Biscuits and Slashed Browns a try!
~Sapphyria’s Books
Incredible new addition to this series.
~Books a Plenty Book Reviews
I love the people of South Lick and getting to know more about them in each book.
~Book Babble
A quick pace drives this cozy mystery where Robbie’s nose for trouble, overactive sense of curiosity and loyalty to friends won’t allow her to rest until all seems peaceful again.
~Laura’s Interests
The author is very talented in her descriptive writing and through much of the book I felt like I was right there, visiting Pans ‘N Pancakes, and it made me hungry.

I literally may have gained a few pounds. I think I could smell those maple biscuits and well hash browns are one of my favorite things to eat so seeing that cover just had me drooling!
~My Reading Journeys
With twists and turns and various forks in the road, Biscuits and Slashed Browns takes readers on a wild journey. In the process of looking for a killer, Robbie comes the closest she’s ever been to losing her life.

BISCUITS AND SLASHED BROWNS was a fast-paced tale, with a well-plotted mystery that left me hanging onto my seat through all of the twists and turns.
~Lisa Ks Book Reviews
I was enthralled from the beginning and it kept my attention throughout. I was surprised by the killer’s motive in this one.
~Melina’s Book Blog
This series continues to give us puzzling mysteries filled with delightful characters and a charming setting – exactly what a cozy mystery should have.
~Carstairs Considers….
This had been an interesting read, where murder was the main dish and everyone had a motive.
~Varietats
I found it very easy to relate to the characters in ‘Biscuits’; this is probably because I see the same kind of small town-folk at ‘Don’s Country Store’ about half a mile away from my house. And don’t get me started on the gossip! *lol*
~Back Porchervations
Robbie is one of the sleuths that always tops my list, she is smart and can work hard to stay out of trouble. Robbie has made such a life for herself that it is a calming point of the books to read, she has a flare for her shop and making dreams come true.
~Bibliophile Reviews
I found this mystery especially interesting because I didn’t see the ending coming at all! It definitely had an interesting twist!

For country-store owner Robbie Jordan, the National Maple Syrup Festival is a sweet escape from late-winter in South Lick, Indiana—until murder saps the life out of the celebration . . .
As Robbie arranges a breakfast-themed cook-off at Pans ‘N Pancakes, visitors pour into Brown County for the annual maple extravaganza. Unfortunately, that includes Professor Connolly, a know-it-all academic from Boston who makes enemies everywhere he goes—and this time, bad manners prove deadly. Soon after clashing with several scientists at a maple tree panel, the professor is found dead outside a sugar shack, stabbed to death by a local restaurateur’s knife. When an innocent woman gets dragged into the investigation and a biologist mysteriously disappears, Robbie drops her winning maple biscuits to search for answers. But can she help police crack the case before another victim is caught in a sticky situation with a killer?
