Synopsis
Unjustly accused of cooking the books, Maggie Grady is forced to retreat from her high-flying New York financial career to the town where she grew up. Her aunt Clara greets her with open arms and a job at the family-owned business that has baked the best pies in the South for over forty years. Unfortunately, while Maggie is determined to return to banking, her reputation there seems permanently in the pits. That is, until her old boss, Lou, visits with news that he’s found the real crook. Before he can reveal the details, though, Maggie finds his body right behind the pie shop.

With only her own word that Lou planned to exonerate her, Maggie is in the spotlight. The police seem to suspect that Aunt Clara’s damson pie may not be just dangerously delectable, but downright deadly. Maggie doesn’t just have her own name to clear; she has to make sure that her aunt’s beloved business isn’t harmed, either. Yummy local reporter Ryan Summerour appears eager to help, and Maggie can’t help hoping that it’s not just the police who find her a person of interest—but Ryan, as well. She’d thought it challenging to make the perfect pie crust that Aunt Clara demands, but that turns out to be nothing compared with finding a murderer. . . .

My Review:

I really liked Plum Deadly matter of fact - I started reading it and couldn’t put it down. I stayed up way to late reading it the other night. Maggie Grady was very successful at her job at a bank in New York City until one day she was fired because they thought she had embezzled millions of dollars - she was left with the clothes on her back and no money. So she went home to her Aunt Clara’s Pie in the Sky shop. A few weeks later her old boss comes into the shop to let Maggie know that he knows who really took the money and is going to announce it the next day at a new conference ~ only he ends up dead in the back alley by the pie shop. Now how will Maggie clear her name and did she kill Lou her old boss? Can Ryan the owner of the town newspaper help clear her name? Will Aunt Clara lose her Pie shop? You will need to read Plum Deadly to find out.
