At first Doogie, the town sheriff feels it is just a fire caused by neglect. Later he finds out that the fire was set on purpose. Now the town has a murder on their hands. As much as Suzanne doesn't want to get involved, several of the town's residents want her to see what she can find out.

Kit and Rich are getting married and Doogie shows up to arrest Rich after finding explosive caps in his trunk. Suzanne knows that Rick had nothing to do with this. So when Kit asks for help, she has no problem saying yes.

As Suzanne is looking into what really happened, several other suspects come to mind. Suzanne is doing her best to weed out several of the suspects and she still has to keep her cafe running smoothly.

SCORCHED EGGS is the second book by Laura Childs that I have read in the Cackleberry Club mystery series. I enjoyed this book as much as the one that I have read before this. Laura Childs does clarify the characters from the previous book, so there is no guessing as to who is who. There is some humor in this book, which helps move it along.

Laura Childs includes in the back of this book recipes on the food that they dish up at the Cackleberry Club. SCORCHED EGGS is a delight, and I can't wait for the next one in this series.
