A well-constructed plot and lively dialogue that’s not excessively cute lift this promising debut from the pseudonymous Grant (husband-and-wife authors). After being accused of stealing funds from a client, banker Maggie Grady heads home to Durham, N.C., where she finds work at Pie in the Sky, her aunt’s pie shop near the Duke University campus. Maggie has two goals—to prove her innocence and get back to the kind of high-powered career she once had. Her former boss, Lou Goldberg, shows up, promising to clear her name at a press conference the next day, but before the day is done, Lou is dead and Maggie is a suspect in his murder. Maggie has enough charm and wit to aid the police in the search for the real criminal. Fans of Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swenson series and other culinary cozies will be satisfied. Recipes at the back include Lotsa Lemon Meringue Pie and Clara’s Coconut Custard Pie.

A banker returns to her small town, rediscovers her roots and gets to the bottom of things. Maggie Grady isn't just let go from her high-powered banking job in New York: She's accused of embezzlement, gets fired and loses everything. Looking for a landing place, Maggie winds up in Durham, N.C., the home of her Aunt Clara Lowder, the woman who raised Maggie from childhood. Though Maggie doesn't expect much, she loves life at her aunt's Pie in the Sky shop, in spite of the disrepair the pie shop has fallen into since Maggie's Uncle Fred passed away. Maggie loves life, that is, until Louis Goldberg, her old boss, shows up. Lou tells Maggie that he has evidence of her innocence, though he doesn't tell her what it is. Hours later, poor Lou is dead, and the police suspect foul play. Now Maggie has two mysteries to solve. Can she find out who killed Lou while clearing her own name? Luckily, she's got the assistance of local reporter Ryan Summerour, who Aunt Clara hopes can be more than just a helping hand for Maggie. The husband-and-wife duo writing as Grant debut with a cozy that's as sweet and simple as pie.
