CHOCOHOLIC CREAM. BOUNTIFUL BLUEBERRY. LOTSA LEMON MERINGUE. EVEN
DANGEROUSLY DAMSON.
Who could resist such pies? Who would even want to resist the pie
shop that makes them? Certainly not the residents of Durham, North
Carolina, and the little bakery and cafe called Pie in the Sky is
one of the most popular meet-up places in town.
Unjustly accused of cooking the books, Maggie Grady is forced to
retreat from her high-flying New York financial career to the town
where she grew up. Her aunt Clara greets her with open arms and a
job at the family-owned business that has baked the best pies in
the South for over forty years. Unfortunately, while Maggie is
determined to return to banking, her reputation there seems
permanently in the pits. That is, until her old boss, Lou, visits
with news that he's found the real crook. Before he can reveal the
details, though, Maggie finds his body right behind the pie shop.
With only her own word that Lou planned to exonerate her, Maggie is
in the spotlight. The police seem to suspect that Aunt Clara's
damson pie may not be just dangerously delectable, but downright
deadly. Maggie doesn't just have her own name to clear; she has to
make sure that her aunt's beloved business isn't harmed, either.
Yummy local reporter Ryan Summerour appears eager to help, and
Maggie can't help hoping that it's not just the police who find her
a person of interest--but Ryan, as well. She'd thought it
challenging to make the perfect pie crust that Aunt Clara demands,
but that turns out to be nothing compared with finding a murderer.
