Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: Kappy King, a member of a middle-of-the-road Amish denomination in Blue Sky, Pa., learns that Alma Miller, the bishop's wife, has been hospitalized after being found bludgeoned and unconscious on the floor of her home. The only clue to the identity of her assailant is a cryptic message Alma managed to write on the floor in flour: "Nine babies. ME blue." Kappy, along with her non-Amish friend Edie Peachey, play amateur detective, focusing on the theory that the assault was motivated by the victim's skill at pie baking. The attack came shortly before the next scheduled local pie-making contest, which gains even more attention when word arrives that a representative of the national Mrs. O'Malley's Pies chain is planning to attend.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Kathryn "Kappy" King's skill at making kapps for the Amish women of Blue Sky, Pennsylvania, is unparalleled. But she's also dangerously good at discovering dark truths beneath this peaceful valley ...

When an "accident" puts beloved bishop's wife Alma Miller in a coma, many in Blue Sky are quick to blame struggling widow Frannie Lehman. Both women are the best bakers around, but for years Alma's boysenberry pies have been more award-winning--and profitable--than Frannie's. And with Alma out of this fall's county festival, Frannie's pie finally wins first prize. But when Alma dies and Frannie's children fall victim to gossip and bullying, Kappy is determined to uncover the real truth.

Soon Kappy and her outcast friend Edie have their hands full of odd clues. What do Alma's strange last words mean? Why would someone break into her house just to steal a quilt? Who is the mysterious new piemaker in town--and why is she still in Blue Sky after losing the festival competition? When long-buried family secrets and contested legacies start getting into the mix, Kappy and Edie must work fast before another victim gets a deadly pie in the face ...
