~Who knew pie could be deadly? ~
Spring Festival and murder.
Can Maddie clear her name?
Finding the body was a shock. Accused of putting it there pushes Maddie over the edge and into the Sheriff’s path. Her ex-flame is as confused as she is when the mystery heats up with another batch of clues.
As the timer ticks down in the race to find the murderer before Maddie’s put in jail or the body count climbs, she enlists the help of her friends.
Danger threatens at every turn, and when Maddie ends up on her own, scared and out of her depth, it seems that even an award-winning baker isn’t safe from Maple Falls’ first serial killer.
Things like this just don’t happen in her small town. Or, it didn’t until now.
If only solving murder were as easy as apple pie!
If you love Murder She wrote, you’ll enjoy Maddie’s style because she’s not taking no for an answer either.

Alisha ***** Apple Pie and Arsenic is a brand new cozy mystery by C.A. Phipps. Madeline Flynn is brought back to her hometown of Maple Falls when her Grandmother decides to sell the family home and move into something smaller after being sick. Once home Gran talks Maddie into opening up her own bakery right there in Maple Falls and converting the upstairs into an apartment for the two of them to share.
After getting the bakery up and running Maddie decides to enter her apple pie into the Spring Festival, after winning first place a group of her friends decides to go out to celebrate her win. When Maddie makes it to her car she finds one of her friends dead and is immediately a suspect. It's up to Maddie to clear her name and help prevent another murder in town.
If you like small town settings, wonderful friends, and family values then this is the new series is for you!
Bernadette *****I really enjoyed reading this book. The small town vibe is well done. Maddie and her friends, the girlz, Ethan and, especially Gran, all add to the fun. Maddie has to do some growing up. She continues to deny her feelings for Ethan, but that just means that the gang will be back for another book! I really enjoyed this mystery.
Nicole ***** This is the first of the Maple Lane Cozy Mystery books by Ms. Phipps and wow did I love this book. Maddie is coming home to visit her Gran and to help her Gran sell her house, but Gran has a plan of her own. Maddie ends up staying in town and opening a bakery and then things start to go wrong. A friend dies and the search is on for the killer. Maddie and the girlz turn into amateur sleuths to help find the killer since Maddie is receiving threats.
I can say that the book ends on a positive note and I loved the way Ms. Phipps would throw in a sentence that helped fill in tiny bits of the backstory but it fit and flowed perfectly. It would be amazing to see all the Girlz get a man as they are all single as the series progresses but as long as it doesn’t affect their friendship. I highly recommend this book. A great book to start the series with.
Now I have a need for Apple pie.
