Lemon Pies and Little White Lies by Ellery Adams

Book four of the Charmed Pie Shoppe Mysteries and I ended up grabbing it fairly quickly after book three.  Usually I space out cozy mysteries more, but knowing there are only 5 of these, I wanted to find out what happens.

About Lemon Pies and Little White Lies:

Ella Mae LeFaye's Charmed Pie Shoppe has become a phenomenon beyond her wildest dreams, providing the enchanted town of Havenwood, Georgia, with spellbinding desserts and magical pies. Her personal life is also heating up as she takes on the responsibilities of leadership within her magical community. In fact, the only thing weighing her down is the fact that handsome Hugh Dylan won't return her calls. 

Still, when Havenwood is rocked by a series of mysterious deaths, Ella Mae must put romantic longings aside, especially when she realizes that the mystical symbols left at each crime scene are dangerously personal. Now she will have to whip up all her supernatural skills to uncover a killer out to settle an ancient score, before the murderer devastates everything Ella Mae is determined to protect. 

My Thoughts:

Another fun read in this series, but I definitely have a feeling that I'm going to want way more than 5 books in it.  Ella Mae once again takes on a predominant role in both her town and her magical community, in the hopes of solving a series of deaths, made more complicated by ancient symbols leading to more questions than answers.  Even more information is made available on the magical community, including how their powers might be sourced.

There are so many questions remaining and I truly wonder if the fifth book in the series is going to be able to adequately wrap them up for me.
