Five months—and a broken engagement—later, at least her dream of opening a pie shop has become a reality. But when one of her regulars keels over at the counter while eating a quiche, Val feels like she's living a nightmare.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e After the police determine the customer was poisoned, business at Pie Town drops faster than a fallen crust. Convinced they’re both suspects, Val's flaky, seventy-something pie crust maker Charlene drags her boss into some amateur sleuthing. At first Val dismisses Charlene’s half-baked hypotheses, but before long the ladies uncover some shady dealings hidden in fog-bound San Nicholas. Now Val must expose the truth—before a crummy killer tries to shut her pie hole.Based in San Mateo, CA, \u003cb\u003eKirsten Weiss\u003c\/b\u003e writes genre-blending novels: urban \u003cbr\u003e fantasy\/mystery, steampunk\/suspense, and cozy mysteries.
