Hello my cozy friends,
Today I am reviewing "A Wrinkle in Thyme" the 8th instalment in the "Pancake House" Mystery series by Sarah Fox. I really like this series its an entertaining easy read.
Murder is on the menu in the latest Pancake House Mystery, as a treasure trove of old letters spurs a killer to take some unsavory action. . . .
This summer, Wildwood Cove is hosting a special event, Wild West Days, to celebrate the town's storied past. Wildwood Cove's museum is also getting a new lease of life thanks to a longtime resident's generous bequest. Several locals, including Marley McKinney-Collins, owner of the Flip Side pancake house, offer to transfer artifacts to the beautiful restored Victorian that will become the museum's home. But there's an unappetizing development when a volunteer, Jane Fassbinder, is found dead—bludgeoned with an antique clothes iron.
Marley can never resist a piping hot mystery, and this one seems especially intriguing. Jane had recently unearthed some love letters from the Jack of Diamonds, a notorious thief who plagued Wildwood Cove over a century ago. As more locals meet with dangerous “accidents," it seems that someone is determined to keep that correspondence buried deep in the past. And unless Marley can sift through the likely suspects, she too could end up being nothing but history. . . .
Includes pancake recipes right from the Flip Side menu!
I love the setting of Wildwood Cove in the pacific northwest as I can relate to it having grown up there and having family still there.

The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and I loved the characters of Mrs. Winterbourne, her sister Dolly and granddaughter Krista who played a big part in the mystery. But I really enjoy the Flip Side pancake house family of Ivan, Tommy, Sienna, Leigh and Marley.
I kept guessing and second-guessing myself on whodunnit right to the very end.
I highly recommend this book/series to all my cozy lover friends.
I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Kensington Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I always love reading comments and getting to know my fellow cozy lovers.
