Biscuits and Slashed Browns is the 4th installment in the Country Store Mysteries series featuring Robbie Jordan, owner of Pans N'Pancakes set in the small town of South Lick, Indiana. Robbie is looking forward to hosting a cook off as part of the Brown County Maple Sugar Festival and showcasing her delicious maple biscuits.

The weekend has also brought a gathering of maple scientists to town for an academic conference including Professor Warren Connolly. From the moment he stepped into town the professor seemed to get into an altercation with everyone that crossed his path; from fellow scholars to local townsfolk. So, it's really no surprise when Robbie's Aunt Adele finds his body behind a woodpile, but the problem is she finds the body behind the home of Robbie's assistant, Turner Roa and murdered with the Chef's knife of her best friend Christina. Knowing that neither of these two could be capable of murder, Robbie sets out with the help of beau, Abe to clear her friends and soon finds herself in more than one sticky situation.

A fast paced plot, a returning cast of characters and just the right touch of romance make this a delightful addition to the series.
