Introduction

New York Times bestselling author Laura Childs presents the best way to start your day—with a hearty breakfast and a side of hard-boiled murder.

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…

A KILLER HAS THE TOWN WALKING ON EGG SHELLS

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.

Discussion Questions

What was unique about the opening chapter of the book?



Does the author create enough of a “sense of place” that you can picture the Cackleberry Club in your mind? If so, what does it look like?



Who do you think is really in charge of the investigation – Suzanne or Sheriff Doogie?



Do you think Suzanne is able to balance her business while making time for her real life? Do you think most small business owners or working women are able to find balance?
