When murder is served at a California pie shop, the head baker turns amateur sleuth in this New York Times bestselling author's cozy mystery series debut.
After the police determine the customer was poisoned, business at Pie Town drops faster than a fallen crust. Convinced they're both suspects, Val's flaky, seventy-something assistant Charlene drags her boss into some amateur sleuthing. At first Val dismisses Charlene's half-baked hypotheses, but before long the ladies uncover some shady dealings hidden in fog-bound San Nicholas. Now Val must expose the truthbefore a crummy killer tries to shut her pie hole.
