This book was a lot of fun. Robbie owns (and runs) Pans 'N Pancakes, a small town Indiana diner that specializes in breakfast and good home cooking. She has a lot of regular customers and hosts a variety of different groups, including the university's sociology meetings. After a heated meeting, one of the members of the group ends up dead, and Robbie's diner is host to a whole lot of suspects. Was it someone in the sociology group who'd had enough? Was it a family member, or someone from his past? And things get even more interesting when Robbie decides to renovate her diner and discovers secrets in the walls. There are plenty of colorful characters, good food, and lots of secrets and suspects. I was wrong more than once about who the killer was but it all tied together nicely at the end. I haven't read the first two books in the series yet, but I definitely will.
