A novel by

 
 
Late one afternoon, as Kate Reed finishes the final daily tasks at her family's bakery cafe, someone pounds loudly on the front door. Although she'd been planning to retreat to her cozy apartment upstairs for a glass of wine and a well-earned respite following the long day, Kate answers the door and encounters a bewildered man searching for his missing brother. After claiming that his sibling was last seen at Sky High Pies, the stranger suddenly leaves before offering proof.

When he returns the next morning, sharing the story of a diamond heist and cold-blooded murder that may be related to his brother's disappearance, Kate decides to use her experience as a private investigator to look into the situation. The choice leads to a secret-laden case that includes a high-end Philadelphia jewelry store, bickering neighbors allegedly armed with brass knuckles, formfitting fuchsia tights, a stolen car with out-of-state plates and contentious family ties that endanger local residents as well as out-of-town visitors to Crescent Creek.

Death Before Diamonds, Book 10 in the Sky High Pies Cozy Mystery series, includes a tasty trio of Nana Reed's Sky High recipes!
