Plum Deadly by Ellie Grant
A charming cozy mystery set in a small Southern town, this deliciously clever whodunit follows a woman on the run who must clear her name when murder lands on her aunt's doorstep.When Maggie Grady is framed for embezzlement by her powerful New York boss, her once-glamorous financial career collapses overnight. With nowhere else to turn, she flees to Durham, North Carolina, and the comfort of her aunt Clara's beloved pie shop, Pie in the Sky--a cozy bakery famous for its irresistible homemade pies and welcoming atmosphere.
Just as Maggie begins rebuilding her life, her ex-boss turns up with shocking news: he's found the real culprit who ruined her career. But before he can explain, Maggie discovers his dead body behind the pie shop. Suddenly, Maggie is once again under suspicion, and the police seem to think that Aunt Clara's dangerously good damson pie might be more than just delectable.
With her reputation--and her aunt's business--on the line, Maggie launches her own investigation. With help from a charming local reporter who may be interested in more than just the story, Maggie must uncover the truth before the real killer strikes again. Solving a murder, it turns out, is even harder than mastering Aunt Clara's perfect pie crust.
Warm, witty, and full of small-town charm, this cozy mystery blends murder, baking, and a touch of romance into a delightful page-turner.
