The Pecan Pie Poisoner

A Willow Creek Cozy Mystery - Book Two

The pecan pie had a secret—and it wasn’t just cinnamon.

Cynthia Harper, a former Manhattan communications strategist turned small-town B&B owner, was hoping Willow Creek’s Fall Festival would be a sweet success. But when a notoriously harsh guest judge drops dead mid-contest—right after sampling a pie—things turn from festive to fatal.

Armed with caffeine, curiosity, and her golden retriever sidekick Duke, Cynthia dives headfirst into the mystery. With a sabotaged kitchen, bitter gossip, and a town full of suspects—from the weepy baker whose pie was under fire to a councilwoman with budget secrets to bury—Cynthia finds herself in deeper than a double crust.

Even Evan, her quiet contractor with a protective streak, can’t keep the danger at bay when someone starts targeting her inn. As evidence stacks up and the town turns against her, Cynthia must unravel family secrets, fake receipts, and a suspiciously missing bottle of extract before the killer bakes their next victim.

Because in Willow Creek, even a pie can kill—and this time, it’s personal.
