The Case of the Poisoned Pumpkin Pie
In a town where the pies are to die for someone actually does! Now Glenwood Springs only ghost whisperer must sift through a recipe of lies to catch a killer, before her best friend is forced to trade her apron for prison stripes.Welcome to Glenwood Springs, Colorado, where the autumn leaves aren't the only things stirring up trouble this fall.
When celebrity chef Sebastian LeClair suddenly retires to this quaint mountain town, the locals are thrilled - until he drops dead after tasting a pumpkin pie at the Great Harvest Pie Showdown. Worse yet, the poisoned pie came from Sol Conceptions Bakery, owned by Holly's best friend Juliet.
As a Paranormal Private Investigator with a talent for communicating with spirits, Holly is used to unusual cases. But with Juliet's bakery losing customers and the police gathering evidence, she'll need more than her ghost-whispering abilities to solve this murder. At least she has Clara, her 145-year-old ghostly roommate; Mystery, a sarcastic ghost cat; and Wendy, her witchy best friend who owns the local bookstore.
The problem? Sebastian LeClair had a gift for making enemies, leaving Holly with a menu of suspects longer than the hotel's wine list. And someone isn't happy about her investigation, warning her to back off - or else.
Between occasionally tending bar at the historic Red Castle Hotel, where the murder took place, dodging threats, and trying to keep her growing attraction to the surly-but-handsome Sheriff Mack professional, Holly must uncover the truth before the killer serves up another deadly surprise.
A deliciously charming paranormal cozy mystery that proves revenge is a dish best served cold - with a slice of pumpkin pie on the side.

"The Case of the Poisoned Pumpkin Pie (Ghostly Glenwood Mystery #7)" by B. I. Skinner is set just before Thanksgiving. One of Holly's best friends is entering a pie baking contest. One of the judges is a famous chef who recently moved to town. Unfortunately, one bite of her pie and he's dead. Now, Holly can stand to think her friend is responsible and uses her Paranormal Private Investigator status to dig into what really happened.
Holly really gets herself into a lot more trouble than she needs to. The sheriff specifically hires her sometimes because he knows she can see and speak to ghosts, so she has no excuse not to tell him things when a ghost passes on information to her. Yet she still acts like her ghost abilities are some sort of secret sometimes. She eventually accidentally stumbles upon the real culprit and the evidence it's them at the same time. Really, if she just listened to her friends she never would have been in danger and this all still would have been resolved at the same speed as it was.
