Slice of Death

August in Lake Potawatomi, Wisconsin, always means one thing: the annual baking contest. It’s a huge draw for local pastry aficionados. And, of course, bon vivant baker turned mystery writer Teddie St. John has a pie in the ring. The baking tent boasts an array of folding tables housing each entrant’s daily baked goods. And at one of those tables sits the corpse of the head judge, Les Morris, his face half-buried in a delectable coconut cream pie. By his side lies Teddie’s distinctive embossed rolling pin…covered with blood.

A life sentence behind a lattice of prison bars and a tangle of rhu-barbed wire will never do, and Teddie’s quick wit and bohemian charm won’t save her from the long spatula of the law. So, with the help of her friends, she’ll concoct a recipe to prove her innocence—before the real killer comes back for seconds!
