Series

Small-town secrets, homemade pies, and a clever amateur sleuth set the tone for a series built on atmosphere, community, and quiet revelations.

Familiar Faces

Emily Harper, Lila Monroe, Mrs. Collins, and the regulars around Main Street give Maplewood its warmth, its rumors, and its quiet clues.

Emily is Maplewood's steady observer: practical, warm, and far more attentive than people expect when they are talking over coffee and pie.

Emily's best friend and pie shop co-worker

Lila brings humor, skepticism, and a practical eye to the pie shop, especially when Emily starts noticing details no one asked her to notice.

One of Maplewood's most observant neighbors

Mrs. Collins seems to know everyone, remember everything, and mention the important part only after pretending it was nothing.

A Small-Town Culinary Cozy Mystery with Secrets, Lies, and a Clever Amateur Sleuth
