Daisy Ellery's pies have a secret ingredient: The magical ability to
avenge women done wrong by men. But Daisy finds herself on the receiving
end in Misha Popp's cozy series debut, a sweet-as-buttercream treat for
fans of Ellery Adams and Mary Maxwell.
The first time Daisy Ellery killed a man with a pie, it was an accident.
Now, it's her calling. Daisy bakes sweet vengeance into her pastries,
which she and her dog Zoe deliver to the men who've done dirty deeds to
the town's women. But if she can't solve the one crime that's not of her
own baking, she'll be out of the pie pan and into the oven.
Parking her Pies Before Guys mobile bakery van outside the local diner,
Daisy is informed by Frank, the crusty diner owner, that someone's been
prowling around the van--and not just to inhale the delectable aroma.
Already on thin icing with Frank, she finds a letter on her door,
threatening to reveal her unsavory secret sideline of pie a la murder.
Blackmail? But who whipped up this half-baked plot to cut a slice out of
Daisy's business? Purple-haired campus do-gooder Melly? Noel, the
tender--if flaky--farm boy? Or one of the abusive men who prefer their
pie without a deadly scoop of payback?
The upcoming statewide pie contest could be Daisy's big chance to help
wronged women everywhere...if she doesn't meet a sticky end first.
Because Daisy knows the blackmailer won't stop until her business is in
crumbles.
