Synopsis

EASTER EGG MURDER by LESLIE MEIERIn Provence to visit her daughter, part-time reporter Lucy Stone is soaking up the atmosphere, even if it includes one Carole Capobianco, the empty-nester she encountered on the flight over. They're both amused by the tale of a neighbor's chickens refusing to lay eggs. The decoy eggs he's set out are not only gorgeously Faberge-style, they're being stolen!DEATH BY ANOTHER EASTER EGG by LEE HOLLISWhen an ambitious young reporter dies mid-meal at Hayley Powell's Bar Harbor restaurant, Hayley is horrified. Determined to save her eatery's reputation, Hayley scrambles to crack the case wide open like an egg, discovering that the victim was about to break a juicy story—one that a number of people (er, suspects) did not order off the menu.AN EGGY WAY TO DIE by PEGGY EHRHARTCleaning up after the Easter egg hunt in the Arborville park, friends Pamela and Bettina are startled to find something else hidden—the dead body of a local cookbook author, surrounded by broken shells and slippery yolks. The pair are far from hard-boiled detectives, but as they search for clues, they find that the whole case smells distinctly like rotten eggs . . .

Goodreads review by Cozy Reader Lady on January 09, 2026

In short, all three short stories were too short for the mystery aspects to be flushed out well. Leslie Meyer's story was nice that it bridged her new series with her long running series. That's about it. Bill was extra grumpy man stuck in an old way of thinking and Lucy doing her usual men are men......more
