Pumpkin Pied by Karen MacInerney is book 6.5 of the Gray Whale Inn contemporary mystery series set on an island off the coast of Maine. Enjoy Charlene’s Pumpkin Whoopie Pies and the Prize-Winning Turtle Pumpkin Pie! And…don’t think the big novels are the only ones to include recipes. I greatly enjoyed the singular focus, not too much extraneous activity, and MacInerney’s marvelous descriptive style and wit. Natalie Barnes is preparing to enter the pie contest at the Harvest Festival with her Turtle Pumpkin Pie recipe (it gets her out of judging), but mysterious lights, blood in the corn maze, and gourd sabotage make for a fun romp. It may be easily read in an hour, no need to devote a lot of time, but with the same “quaint” B&B setting on Cranberry Island, Maine, wonderful characters with realistic strengthens and challenges, a puzzling crime and satisfying reveal, and rumors of a ghost, monster pumpkins, and pies, it is not short on entertainment. How wrong I am! The proof…“Pumpkin Pied” from Karen MacInerney’s Gray Whale Inn Mystery. In the past I ignored or skipped over them thinking they were incomplete or not enough depth in the drama. Pumpkin Pied earns 5/5 Blue Ribbons…Entertaining!
