About the Book:

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.

My thoughts:
I love cozies that feature desserts and this one captured my attention right from the very beginning.  When Maggie loses her job, she comes back to her Aunt and the Community where she grew up.  She loves her family's Pie Shop ( called Pie in the Sky ).  The Pie Shop is a favorite place for the school kids to hang out after school, and there were many locals who were regulars also.
      Maggie's Aunt wants to teach her how to make the family secret pie crust, but before she gets a chance to learn,.. they discover Maggie's old boss dead near the back door of the shop.  As the investigation continues,  they try to figure out what happened and why...and in the process they hope that they can re-open "Pie in the Sky". 
      With the small-town feel of the story, and the romance that happens, this was a book that was hard to put down!  I recommend it for all cozy mystery fans!  

One of my favorite quotes from the book -"I'll take some sweet tea and some Dangerously Damson pie."  He waggled his eyebrowns. "Sounds exciting. What makes it dangerous?"

    You really expect me to narrow it down to one favorite? LOL - it really depends on my mood! At the moment a warm slice of pecan pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream sounds divine! :-)

    Blueberry Peach, with the blueberries dripping down on the peaches. I made it once for a family reunion and it was gone before I had a piece!
