About this audiobook

Would you kill to win a pie competition?

Finding the body was a shock.

When all the clues point her way, Maddie must clear her name.

As the timer ticks down in the race to find the murderer before Maddie’s jailed, or the body count climbs, she enlists the help of her friends—one of the furry variety.

Then there’s the sheriff. While her ex-flame's just as confused, does he really believe she’s innocent?

If only solving murder were as easy as apple pie!

If you love Murder She wrote, you’ll enjoy Maddie’s style because she’s not taking no for an answer 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!

Ratings and reviews

Maddie returns home because she believes her beloved Gran is sick and needs to sell the family home and downsize. Upon returning to Maple Falls she finds out Gran has different plans. Plans that involve Maddie moving back and opening her bakery in Maples Falls. Maddie does just but after she finds one of her best fiends dead she can’t help but believe someone has other plans for her. I enjoyed the story.. Since this is book 1 the reading is just being introduced to the characters but they are likable and interesting. The mystery is well plotted and kept me guessing who the killer was and why. I listened to the audio version of the book. The narrator does a wonderful job with the characters and story telling. She has a pleasant voice that makes listening to the story enjoyable. All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.
