About this ebook

A killer pie, a tight-knit squad, an ex who won’t quit, and one sassy cat.

Maddie never expected to find her best friend’s body—let alone be accused of the crime. Now, she’s in a race against time to clear her name before she ends up behind bars… or the real killer strikes again.

With her ride-or-die gal pals by her side—and a feisty feline with a nose for trouble—Maddie dives into the case. But things get complicated when her ex, the town sheriff, keeps getting in the way. He may be as confused as she is, but the real question is: does he believe she’s innocent?

Baking may be Maddie’s specialty, but solving a murder isn’t as easy as pie.

If you love Murder, She Wrote and culinary cozies packed with charm, mystery, and a touch of sass, you’ll love the Maple Lane Mysteries!

A smart person is not someone who reads a lot but someone who understands a lot from what they read. An avid reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. A person who never reads books lives only one life. Great books help you understand, and they help you feel understood. For some people, books make their lives fuller. For others, books are just to fill the shelves. Anyone who reads a book and only knows what is written in the book is only half using the book. Books expand the human mind, making it deeper and brighter.

I Love this entire SERIES!!! I seriously can't get enough and happened to pick up the first book while on a cruise and now I can't stop reading them! I so appreciate these mysteries! There is a bit of detail to get through, but it's SO worth it!

Great book, interesting, some drama, girl doesn't have to end up with the guy like usual. But there are a few typos. I highly recommend anyway.

About the author

C. A. Phipps is a USA Today best-selling author from beautiful New Zealand. Cheryl lives in a quiet suburb with her wonderful husband, whom she married the moment she left school (yes, they were high school sweethearts). With an extended family to keep her busy when she's not writing, there is just enough space for a crazy mixed breed dog who stole her heart! She enjoys family times, baking, and her quest for the perfect latte.
