It’s almost Thanksgiving, and Fran is baking her family’s famous apple pies for the café. While pie fever spreads through Cape Bay, a world-famous artist holds a special art show in the town’s modest museum in honor of his late mother, who grew up there.

Louis Cliffton’s paintings are encrusted with valuable gems and gold. At the opening night, the centerpiece of the show is stolen. When Fran investigates the case, she receives threats, and someone follows her home and vandalizes her café.

What kind of thief would do this? A crazy outsider—or someone from her very own town?

Harper Lin’s Cape Bay Cafe series has become a comfort series for me — after reading several books that I couldn’t get into or didn’t enjoy, I can pick up this series and know that it’ll be fun and entertaining.

This book didn’t disappoint.

With the art heist and hi-jinks a part of the story, they aren’t the only focus. The sweet love story between Fran and Matt continues; Fran’s still adjusting to her new life, including the loss of her mother; the other characters are fun, and I love reading more about them. This one did wrap up a little too quickly at the end for me (Fran wasn’t even part of it), so that was a bit of a let down, but not enough that I won’t read the next book.

If you’re a fan of Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, I highly recommend this series.

Rated PG.
