My Review:
Pies and Pilfering was a fun cozy read that kept me hanging on every word as I tried to help detective Piper Sandstone and her crime-fighting gal pals, the Dentures and Diamonds Crime Squad solve the mystery of Mrs. Collins’s prize-winning Peonies and famous Imperial Lemon Pie disappearing.
Piper and the ladies noticed a stranger lurking about Mrs. Collins’s home the day they were installing security cameras. This stranger left Piper feeling uneasy and suspicious.
When the truth finally came out, I was surprised. I did not see that one coming, not in a million years. Pies and Pilfering kept me in suspense and wanting to know what was happening. I couldn’t get to the end fast enough to find out. The mystery of it all kept me turning those pages.
I can’t wait to find out what crimes await the ladies next.
I highly recommend any of the Piper Sandstone mystery stories. Grab a copy of Pies and Pilfering today!
