Cherry Pies & Deadly Lies

By Darci Hannah

Book Overview

Crime with a Slice of Cherry Pie Cherry enthusiast Whitney Bloom is furiously baking her way into the heart of Chicago with her fabulous cherry pies when she receives a desperate call from her mother. The annual Cherry Blossom Festival has just kicked off at the Cherry Orchard Inn in Door County, Wisconsin, and the manager of the Bloom family orchard has been found dead beneath the cherry blossoms. Worse yet, all evidence points to Whitney's father as the killer. After she races home to help, things really land in the pits for Whitney when she discovers that Jack MacLaren, her old high school nemesis, is Cherry Cove's only police officer. Putting her cherry-tastic treats on hold, Whitney matches wits against Jack. But will she have what it takes to clear her father's name and sift out the real Cherry Cove killer? "The first in an amusing new series features a fearless, reckless sleuth who unravels a complicated mystery while juggling her sex life and her future plans."-- Kirkus Reviews "Whitney is a well-drawn, sympathetic character, and the small-town frame, with a close-knit community and a cherry orchard, will appeal to cozy readers who enjoy Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen mysteries."-- Booklist "Hannah displays... talent."-- Publishers Weekly "Great fun and extremely well-written. The crime, the characters--everything comes together...an extremely "tasty" story you will definitely devour in one sitting."-- Suspense Magazine

Customer Reviews

edge of your seat cozy mystery thriller

I really enjoyed this cozy mystery! This one really did have you guessing until the very end. And then once you thought you had it all figured out, there's another twist to the story. The author does a great job of keeping you interested in the characters and the mystery without giving too many secrets away. Wonderful characters with lots of personality and a few quirks. Plenty of personality dynamics that make it fun and interesting. And the descriptions of the cherry food items...had my stomach growling and my taste buds geared up for something cherry flavored. I'm pretty sure there needs to be a second book in this series. And, if so, I will be one of the first to buy it. I'm in love with the town of Cherry Cove and the people who live there. I'm ready to continue with more adventures and delicious items on the cherry menu. Thank you to Midnight Ink and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
