Peach Pies and Alibis by Ellery
Adams is the second book in the “Charmed Pie Shoppe” mystery series.
Publisher: Berkley Prime Crime, March 2013
Ella Mae LeFaye’s Charmed Pie Shoppe is wildly
popular in Havenwood, Georgia—which is not surprising since Ella Mae can lace
her baked goods with enchantments. The shop’s extraordinary success seems
destined to continue when Ella Mae meets an engaged couple who hire her to
handle the dessert buffet at their wedding.
But Ella Mae has a lot on her plate. She is also
searching for the origin of her magical powers—and hoping to determine if the
spark of attraction she feels for the handsome Hugh Dylan is authentic or just
her new abilities gone awry.
Then Ella Mae discovers a high-standing member of the
community dead, and a wedding guest becomes seriously ill at the event she’s
catering. Now she’ll have to use all her sleuthing skills and culinary talents
to prove her pies don’t contain a killer ingredient . . .
I can’t even describe how this book
captured my attention from the beginning to an ending that left us with
possibilities. What a great book that I could not put down until the last page
was turned. The mystery kept me guessing but it was the relationship between
Ella Mae and her relatives in this character-driven whodunit that made me feel
like I was right there as they sought out a killer with an unexpected result.
This is an great read and I look forward to the next book in this fabulously
terrific series.
