About this ebook series

Would you kill for pie? 

Finding the body of her friend was a shock and when she’s accused of the death, not only does Maddie want answers, she must find a way to clear her name.

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

Then there’s the sheriff. Her ex-flame is as confused as she is when the mystery heats up with another batch of clues, but does he believe she’s innocent?

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 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.
