In the small mountain community of Mount Penn, the residents are friendly, their homes are open to one another, and they meet regularly for coffee and baked goods. And they get together once a week for their Thursday morning breakfast club.
But on one particular spring morning, Lillie Mae Harris, our main character, is in a state of panic. Her friend Clare seems to be missing. And everyone worries about Clare because of her husband Roger, who has been known to be abusive. Although Clare will deny it.
As we follow Lillie Mae as she searches for Clare, interacting with other neighbors along the way--Alice, Hester, Janet, Joyce, etc., we glimpse them all, a little at a time. And begin to discover how much they all depend upon one another. And help each other.
The town is one of those dream-like places with a good feeling amongst the residents, and with no crime to speak of. There is that Carl Lewis, of course, the blight on the neighborhood: he lives and does a drug business out of his junky trailer. But nothing serious. Or so they believe.
Soon there will be a turbulence ruffling their peaceful community, when Mabel's son Patrick, along with his friend Jerry, are arrested. They were transporting goods for Roger, and somehow, the police found drugs in their truck. Are they guilty? Or did someone set them up? And why?
From bad to worse it goes....and within days, two men have been murdered. Is there a connection? And how could everything change in their little town? Soon the women, at the request of the Police Chief Charlie, are helping him investigate, unofficially, by snooping around, asking questions, and doing what they do best. Definitely an unusual community.
Thursday Morning Breakfast (and Murder) Club
is like a stroll down country lanes. The mysteries, the murders, the games they play in order to find the answers...all of it has a warm, cozy feeling. The shenanigans were probably the best part. The twists and turns were a little predictable, and I figured out who was behind it all halfway through, but the stroll was fun. Four stars.
