The Stolen Recipe
The Maple Street Mysteries, Book One

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
Maggie Holloway taught fifth grade for forty years, and she could spot a lie at fifty paces. Retirement suited her just fine — until her sister Ruth's funeral brought her home to Maple Street, population 3,214, self-declared pie capital of the known universe. She planned to stay a few weeks. Sort the house. Then go home. Then Eleanor Vance — reigning queen of the Harvest County Fair's pie competition for four decades — discovered that her secret cherry pie recipe had been stolen from the Copper Kettle kitchen. A recipe the whole town had been trying to guess for ten years. Suddenly everybody on Maple Street had a motive, a rolling pin, and an alibi. Armed with index cards, a tote bag, and a retired teacher's instincts, Maggie starts asking questions. Sheriff Tom Okafor is not sure he wants a civilian's help. Cafe owner Priya Raman knows everything worth knowing and tells nothing — until she does. Because in Maple Street, everybody knows your business but pretends they don't. Until you need them to. Warm, funny, and full of heart, The Stolen Recipe is the first Maple Street Mystery — and the beginning of Maggie Holloway's second act.
