The Mystery Book Club meets at the store on the second Thursday of every month. A small group, discussion books range from historical mysteries to contemporary thrillers and a few cozies in between. Books are usually picked a couple months in advance, but sometimes the group goes crazy and lines up books for several months.As with all of our groups, the Mystery Book Club is open to anyone interested and can be a great place to meet fellow readers. We’ve seen wonderful friendships form and grow while discussing murder and mayhem –as it should be!
January's selection is Magic, Lies, and Deadly Pies by Misha Popp.
About the book: The first time Daisy Ellery killed a man with a pie, it was an accident. Now, it's her calling. Daisy bakes sweet vengeance into her pastries, which she and her dog Zoe deliver to the men who've done dirty deeds to the town's women. But if she can't solve the one crime that's not of her own baking, she'll be out of the pie pan and into the oven.
Parking her Pies Before Guys mobile bakery van outside the local diner, Daisy is informed by Frank, the crusty diner owner, that someone's been prowling around the van--and not just to inhale the delectable aroma. Already on thin icing with Frank, she finds a letter on her door, threatening to reveal her unsavory secret sideline of pie a la murder. Blackmail? But who whipped up this half-baked plot to cut a slice out of Daisy's business? Purple-haired campus do-gooder Melly? Noel, the tender--if flaky--farm boy? Or one of the abusive men who prefer their pie without a deadly scoop of payback?
The upcoming statewide pie contest could be Daisy's big chance to help wronged women everywhere...if she doesn't meet a sticky end first. Because Daisy knows the blackmailer won't stop until her business is in crumbles.
