Drive by Pies: Mad Batter Mysteries Series - Paperback

by Patti Petrone Miller (Author)

When a cruel food critic dies in Maplewood, the baker he just destroyed becomes the prime suspect-and must decide between justice and loyalty.

Jenny Walsh makes the best blackberry pies in Maplewood. Or at least, she did, before food critic Harold Carson came to town and destroyed her business with a devastating review. When Harold dies from mysterious poisoning-and her pie booth is the crime scene-Jenny becomes the sheriff's prime suspect.

But Jenny didn't poison him. And as she begins asking quiet questions around town, she discovers that someone else in Maplewood loved her enough to commit murder to protect her future.

Now Jenny must make an impossible choice: turn in the person who saved her, or protect them and become complicit in a crime. As she investigates, she'll uncover secrets that bind her entire community together, fall in love with the sheriff who's supposed to be arresting her, and learn that justice isn't always about following the law.

A cozy mystery about loyalty, love, and the secrets small towns keep. Perfect for fans of amateur sleuths, small-town drama, and the complicated bonds between people who choose to protect each other.

"As satisfying as the perfect piece of pie-with none of the calories and all of the excitement!" -Cozy Mystery Book Lover
