About this listen
Fall is in the air and the Eastern Shore Pie Contest has come to Pelican Cove. So has a woman who became a pariah when she was banished from town forty years ago. Now she is back with a vengeance amidst loud protests. The town is split over whether a decades old edict is still valid, especially since the woman holds a lot of power as a judge of the contest.
The competition heats up as local women break their backs trying out different recipes, determined to win. Then an unexpected murder shocks the town.
Roped into investigating the crime, café owner and amateur sleuth Jenny King joins forces with the local Sheriff, talking to those who came in contact with the victim. Frustration sets in when none of her efforts yield any solid clues. To make matters worse, her dear friend had a strong motive to get rid of the victim and is lying to her. Jenny faces a moral dilemma. Should she confront her sick friend for the sake of solving the crime, or turn a blind eye to her transgressions?
She hits a wall every direction she turns and is almost ready to give up.
Meanwhile, the town is flooded with tourists eager to sample a slice of island life. Could one of them be responsible for the murder?
Pies and Pariahs offers the perfect dose of small town charm coupled with a mystery that will keep you turning the pages.
If you like cozy mysteries featuring strong women, small town drama, friendships that endure and a dash of romance, you will love this book.

Story
A missing manuscript and a dead author spell a narrative of chaos in Bloomsville. When reclusive author Ashton Blackwood is found lifeless at Shelf Indulgence, I’m drawn into a plot twist thicker than the most intricate novel. I’m Grace Thompson—florist by trade, sleuth by necessity. Rosie, my terrier with a nose for mysteries, sniffs out intrigue, guiding me to characters ranging from rival authors to disgruntled editors. The stakes rise higher than a climactic chapter as I join forces with Chloe, my forensic partner. Sheriff Waverly admits this mystery is more baffling than a poorly...
