Publisher's summary

It's almost Thanksgiving, and Fran is baking her family's famous apple pies for the cafe. While pie fever spreads through Cape Bay, a world-famous artist holds a special art show in the town's modest museum in honor of his late mother, who grew up there.

Louis Cliffton's paintings are encrusted with valuable gems and gold. At the opening night, the centerpiece of the show is stolen. When Fran investigates the case, she receives threats, and someone follows her home and vandalizes her cafe.

What kind of thief would do this? A crazy outsider - or someone from her very own town?

Impatiently waiting for the next installment...

I’m impatiently waiting for the next installment and have already pre-ordered it. I’m definitely enjoying this series. Harper Lin has a great talent for crafting cozy mysteries. Marguerite Gavin magically brings it all to life.

Blah

Fran is just nosy. There’s no reason for her to be “investigating” at all or putting herself in danger.

Some call stubborn

The actor’s voice carries the story. Though for me the relentless self-talk and rationals are absurd. When other characters point this out she indignantly protests. Without that this book and the series could be so much better.

Good and interesting

The story was definitely intriguing. The susie sunshine-ness of the main character was sometimes too much. The character is supposedly in their 30s, but talks like they're in their 80s or older. Is the narrator a smoker?!?... because good googa mooga, that voice was extremely raspy at times. The Sammy character seems like someone who smiles in your face but talks sh*t about you behind your back lol. The laugh sounds like a little girl trying to be cute.
