The pies are sweet, but secrets in the small town of East Black Oak can be fatal.

Just before the Fall Festival, reigning pie champion Martha Simms’ body is discovered by Candice’s German Shepherd Chowder— whispers swirl of stolen recipes, poisoned pastries, and a rivalry rooted in decades-old land disputes.

Prominent people have been profiting off the Simms family legacy for years—and Martha may have died trying to expose them.

As fires are set, threats delivered, and poison slips into the contest, can Candice stop a killer before the town’s festival ends in another death?

Balancing her amateur sleuth friends and reporter Christopher Donovan with the local police chief and the mayor, Candice uncovers a chilling truth.

The killer confronts her in her closed bookshop, The Crime Scene, with only Chowder and her cat, Whiskers, to protect her.

Police Chief Sterling and his staff are busy with the festival as tension and fear mount.
