But when she finds the berry farmer unconscious in his field, her mind immediately goes to the worst possible scenario. To make matters worse, the farmer's neighbor turns up dead and anonymous messages drag Annie into the mystery when all she wants to do is spend time with her handsome boyfriend. With clues pointing in every direction, Annie needs to figure out who's lying and who she can trust before she ends up as the next victim in the killer's web of deceit. ***BlackBuried Pie is approx. 200 pages and is volume 3 in the Black Cat Cafe Cozy Mystery Series.
