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!
