The Tennessee Pieman was a beloved celebrity until he disappeared into seclusion near a small town. Now he's turned up murdered, his body discovered inside a garage on his ranch, and local police chief Wilma Acosta has assembled a bizarre list of likely suspects: employees who all seem to be harboring their own mysterious secrets. Despite her doubts about whether she's up to the task, if anybody can find the hidden killer among the perplexing cast of characters on hand, it will have to be the intrepid Wilma.
Book #7 by this author changes the landscape a bit. A subordinate character for a previous novel becomes the lead in this one and takes the action out of an urban setting and into a small town environment. Tony continues to improve as an author. The solution is not telegraphed, and the pacing is brisk quite entertaining. Looking forward to book #8!
