Dead for Success Priscilla Baker

After fleeing her high-powered job in the city and a failed marriage, Penny Bowden has arrived in Bellamy Cove, a small beach town on the outer edge of Cape Cod. She's purchased a run-down horse farm - complete with horses and a farm hand - and plans to make her living by offering riding lessons to townsfolk and tourists alike. Upon her arrival, Penny eagerly enters the town's annual bake-off, hoping to impress her new neighbors and make some friends. Right before the bake-off begins, Penny is goaded into an argument with one of the town's most important citizens, Janine Hallett. Only a few minutes later, the entire town witnesses Janine's tragic death - and even worse, she's been murdered. Penny is shocked to find that the police are pointing the finger at her, and all because Janine was eating a piece of Penny's famous cherry pie when she died! Even after the police remove her from the suspect list, the people of Bellamy Cove are convinced that Penny has murdered one of their own. Between acts of sabotage and threatening notes, someone wants Penny out of Bellamy Cove. Penny is determined to clear her name and become a true citizen of Bellamy Cove - and with the help of the local baking club, she might just do it!
