Her ex is just as confused as she is when the mystery heats up with another batch of clues. Does he really believe she’s innocent, or is he trying to trap her?If only solving murder were as easy as apple pie!If you loved Murder, She Wrote, you’ll enjoy Maddie’s style because she’s not leaving a crime unsolved either.The Maple Lane Mysteries are light, cozy mysteries featuring a quirky cat-loving bakery owner who discovers she’s a talented amateur sleuth.Each book contains an easy recipe or two!“This book was so much longer than your average cozy mystery, and I love that about it. It’s not a simple murder cozy. You get to know the characters better and I just think a longer storyline has more flavor! I also love that it’s a strong female main character who doesn’t need a man to be happy. Having a little romance mixed in then makes it that much better. Can’t wait to try the recipes.” - K J Nolan“I like to try to solve the case before I get to the big reveal, but I was wrong. I love that. I've never read this author before, but I will definitely read the next book in this series. Don't miss this one.” - Celest“Don't think for a moment that this Apple Pie Cozy is like all the others. Yes, there is a murder, but it is solved totally different from all the rest. I read this book in one night not because it's short, but because it was that good. I recommend this book and I will read all of C.A.Phipps works.” - Deborah Lavery“Light, easy reading, this book had great characters and a plot that was easy to follow.” - GloriaThe Maple lane MysteriesBook 0.5 Sugar and Sliced PrequelBook 1 Apple Pie and ArsenicBook 2 Bagels and BlackmailBook 3 Cookies and ChaosBook 4 Doughnuts and DisasterBook 5 Eclairs and ExtortionBook 6 Fudge and FrenemiesBook 7 Gingerbread and GunshotsBook 8 Honey cake and Homicide - preorder now!C.

Jewel Mantelle has never lived in the South, much less on the coast, so moving from Chicagoland to the historic North Florida coastal town of Sophia Island seems like just the adventure to fix her marriage. However, when she arrives she finds that it’s awfully hot and humid there and that these Southern folks really like to hug.
Her husband’s past on the island includes a creaky old house in the historic district and lots of nosy relatives he’d forgotten to mention. When one of the Mantelle cousins turns up dead, Jewel needs something she’s never really had before—friends. As her lunch bunch puts on their detective caps to get to the bottom of this murder, Jewel discovers that she may get more than she bargained for out of Sophia Island.
THE MANATEE DID IT is a clean and cozy beach mystery set in a historic small town. It’ll keep you turning pages well after bedtime and slathering on more sunscreen to get a few more poolside pages in.

Description:

First in the Edgar Award–winning series from “a novelist whose champagne-fizzy mysteries tickle the brain, heart, and funny bone in equal measure” (A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times–bestselling author).  Stewart Hoag’s first novel made him the toast of New York. Everyone in Manhattan wanted to be his friend, and he traveled the cocktail circuit supported by Merilee, his wife, and Lulu, his basset hound. But when writer’s block sunk his second novel, his friends, money, and wife all disappeared. Only Lulu stuck by him. The only opportunity left is ghostwriting—an undignified profession that still beats dental school. His first client is Sonny Day, an aging comic who was the king of slapstick three decades ago. Since he and his partner had a falling out in the late 1950s, Day has grown embittered and poor, until the only thing left for him to do is write a memoir. Hoagy and Lulu fly to Hollywood expecting a few months of sunshine and easy living. Instead they find Day’s corpse, and a murder rap with Hoagy’s name on it.
