Her ex is just as confused as she is when the mystery heats up with another batch of clues. Does he really believe she’s innocent, or is he trying to trap her?If only solving murder were as easy as apple pie!If you loved Murder, She Wrote, you’ll enjoy Maddie’s style because she’s not leaving a crime unsolved either.The Maple Lane Mysteries are light, cozy mysteries featuring a quirky cat-loving bakery owner who discovers she’s a talented amateur sleuth.Each book contains an easy recipe or two!“This book was so much longer than your average cozy mystery, and I love that about it. It’s not a simple murder cozy. You get to know the characters better and I just think a longer storyline has more flavor! I also love that it’s a strong female main character who doesn’t need a man to be happy. Having a little romance mixed in then makes it that much better. Can’t wait to try the recipes.” - K J Nolan“I like to try to solve the case before I get to the big reveal, but I was wrong. I love that. I've never read this author before, but I will definitely read the next book in this series. Don't miss this one.” - Celest“Don't think for a moment that this Apple Pie Cozy is like all the others. Yes, there is a murder, but it is solved totally different from all the rest. I read this book in one night not because it's short, but because it was that good. I recommend this book and I will read all of C.A.Phipps works.” - Deborah Lavery“Light, easy reading, this book had great characters and a plot that was easy to follow.” - GloriaThe Maple lane MysteriesBook 0.5 Sugar and Sliced PrequelBook 1 Apple Pie and ArsenicBook 2 Bagels and BlackmailBook 3 Cookies and ChaosBook 4 Doughnuts and DisasterBook 5 Eclairs and ExtortionBook 6 Fudge and FrenemiesBook 7 Gingerbread and GunshotsBook 8 Honey cake and Homicide - preorder now!C.
