Live and Let Pie (A Bakeshop Mystery)

Business at Torte is booming, and Jules has agreed to help Mum and the Professor on their househunt. While on a lakeside picnic Jules and Helen make a gruesome discovery: a skull. They’ve found old skeletal remains that the Professor and Thomas believe might be connected to a missing persons case from the 1960s. Jules can’t believe that she’s stumbled on an unsolved case. Things become even more complicated when a vacant lot, just a few blocks from Torte, comes on the market. Edgar, the cantankerous longtime owner of the lot, appears to be playing everyone off of each other in an attempt to drive up the price. When Edgar is found dead, Jules is immersed in two murders - the past and present collide as she tries to track down whodunit and keep her head above water.
