Daisy Elleryโs pies have a secret ingredient: The magical ability to avenge women done wrong by men. But Daisy finds herself on the receiving end in Misha Poppโs cozy series debut, a sweet-as-buttercream treat for fans of Ellery Adams and Mary Maxwell.
The first time Daisy Ellery killed a man with a pie, it was an accident. Now, itโs her calling. Daisy bakes sweet vengeance into her pastries, which she and her dog Zoe deliver to the men whoโve done dirty deeds to the townโs women. But if she canโt solve the one crime thatโs not of her own baking, sheโll be out of the pie pan and into the oven.
Parking her Pies Before Guys mobile bakery van outside the local diner, Daisy is informed by Frank, the crusty diner owner, that someoneโs been prowling around the vanโand not just to inhale the delectable aroma. Already on thin icing with Frank, she finds a letter on her door, threatening to reveal her unsavory secret sideline of pie a la murder.
Blackmail? But who whipped up this half-baked plot to cut a slice out of Daisyโs business? Purple-haired campus do-gooder Melly? Noel, the tenderโif flakyโfarm boy? Or one of the abusive men who prefer their pie without a deadly scoop of payback?
The upcoming statewide pie contest could be Daisyโs big chance to help wronged women everywhereโฆif she doesnโt meet a sticky end first. Because Daisy knows the blackmailer wonโt stop until her business is in crumbles.
