Competitive baking takes a murderous turn in Misha Popp's "decadent
and addicting" (Melissa Bourbon) second Pies Before Guys cozy
mystery--oven-ready for fans of Ellery Adams and Mary Maxwell.
Everyone loves a good pie. But how about a pie that's as deadly as it
is delectable?
Daisy bakes a little murder into every pie she creates, and she and her
dog, Zoe, deliver them to the town's worst cads. Now, Daisy's entered a
televised, elimination-style competition and has a shot at $100k in
prize money--but she still has a murder pie to deliver between filming.
In a completely unexpected turn of events, she discovers that her
intended victim is one of the competition judges, and he turns up dead
before the pie even arrives. Now, Daisy has to solve the murder--even if
it means working a bit of magic--before someone calls foul play and
exposes her murderous secret.
For anyone who's ever fantasized about the world of competitive baking
à la the Great British Bake Off--or has ever dreamed of getting back
at that guy who wronged them years ago-- Popp's culinary cozy series
is as alluring as a perfectly baked pie, this edgy yet utterly charming
novel takes the idea of "a dessert to die for" to a whole new level.
