Daisy Ellery is back doing what she loves—serving pies with a deadly side of revenge. Her killer pies get even more dangerous in this third installment of Popp’s “Pies Before Guys” series (following
A Good Day To Pie). When a new customer contacts her regarding her violent police officer husband, Daisy hesitates, wondering if perhaps this is a trap and the cops are on her trail. As Daisy deliberates about whether or not to take the job, the woman goes missing, and Daisy is convinced that the officer is to blame. She discovers he is corrupt not only in his personal life but also in his career, and this spells more danger for Daisy. Series narrator Tanya Eby returns to voice Daisy and the cast of characters, infusing the story with an infectious bubbliness despite the seriousness of the topics discussed. Recipes at the end of the novel provide a sweet finish to this murderous treat.
VERDICT Popp continues to delight with her latest entertaining and delicious cozy mystery. Series fans will be riveted as things become perilous for the book’s most unusual pie maker.
