A Copper Falls Murder

A Lila Lawson Cozy Mystery

A Prize-Winning Pie. A Face-Down Judge. A Killer on the Loose.

Lila Lawson expected a sweet assignment: covering the annual Pie Festival's blue ribbons and secret family recipes.

Instead, she stumbled straight into a crime scene.

When Morticia Thornfield—the town's most venomous food critic—collapses dead, face-first into a prize-winning cherry pie.

Sheriff Drummond calls it a heart attack. But Lila and her rescue Collie, Ella, smell a lie, and the peculiar, sweet scent of almonds.

The suspect list is longer than a baker’s dozen. Morticia ruined Rosemary Sage's recipe legacy and drove Basil Pepper's bakery to bankruptcy. Even the festival organizer harbored a bitter grudge.

Every baker had a motive. Every sweet dish hides a secret.

As Lila digs into decades-old rivalries and discovers a threatening note, she realizes the perfect murder was only the first course.

If Lila and Ella don't uncover the truth fast, the next serving of just desserts might be their own.

Pie in the face...LOL

I really like that Karma will get you in the end. really a good read/listen.
