One Poison Pie by Lynn Cahoon

 

Release Date: 01.26.2021

Synopsis:

What’s a kitchen witch to do when her almost-fiancé leaves her suddenly single and unemployed? For Mia Malone, the answer’s simple: move to her grandmother’s quirky Idaho hometown, where magic is an open secret and witches and warlocks are (mostly) welcome. With a new gourmet dinner delivery business—and a touch of magic in her recipes—Mia’s hopes are high. Even when her ex’s little sister, Christina, arrives looking for a place to stay, Mia takes it in stride.

But her first catering job takes a distasteful turn when her client’s body is found, stabbed and stuffed under the head table. Mia’s shocked to learn that she’s a suspect—and even more so when she realizes she’s next on a killer’s list. With Christina, along with Mia’s meddling grandma, in the mix, she’ll have to find out which of the town’s eccentric residents has an appetite for murder…before this fresh start comes to a sticky end. . . .

Review:

One Poison Pie was the third paranormal cozy mystery I’ve read in the last three weeks and I liked it a lot.

I can affirm I have found a new genre I enjoy.

There is a novella before this book that I haven’t read but I easily followed Mia’s journey from here.

Mia Malone is a chef and a kitchen witch with the power of healing with food.

She is back in Magic Springs to start her own catering company but her first job doesn’t go as expected and from that on she won’t have a moment of peace.

With a killer on the loose she will try to make her business strive, but it seems that troubles follow her everywhere.

Lynn Cahoon leads us on a very well planned adventure of mystery, murder and family and friends bonding.

It won’t be easy to guess who is the murderer because there are so many people who had good reasons to commit the crime. I was so invested into the story I kept point my finger at someone only to change my mind in the next page.

This was the first book written by this author I’ve read but I’m already looking forward to the next one in the series because she made me so curious with that ending.
