Nobody Expected The Pie Auction Riot: BOOK SEVEN (The Golden Years Gone Wrong 7)
About
Nobody Expected The Pie Auction Riot
Things turned violent shortly after the rhubarb bidding started.
The annual Brindle Creek Pie Auction Fundraiser is supposed to be simple.
- Bake pies.
- Award ribbons.
- Raise money for Community Hall roof repairs.
- Go home happy.
Unfortunately, nobody accounted for ninety-three pie entries, decades of competitive baking history, one legendary Blue Ribbon Huckleberry Pie, several hundred highly opinionated residents, an increasingly confused tourist, and a town that believes helping is more important than thinking.
For eleven straight years, Ellie Chandler’s Mountain Huckleberry Pie has been the undisputed champion of Brindle Creek. Everyone assumes it will win again. Everyone assumes a local family will buy it. Everyone assumes tradition will continue exactly as it always has.
Then a tourist wins the auction.
What follows begins with hurt feelings and rapidly escalates into ownership disputes, recipe wars, fake bid accusations, community factions, missing evidence, competing investigations, contradictory witness statements, and one sheriff desperately trying to determine how a pie fundraiser turned into a public emergency.
As rumors spread faster than facts, every resident becomes convinced they know exactly what happened. Unfortunately, no two explanations match.
Meanwhile, the most famous pie in town vanishes.
Now half of Brindle Creek is trying to recover the missing pie, the other half is trying to identify the culprit, and nobody notices that the overloaded display tables are beginning to wobble under the pressure.
Adding to the confusion are Abby Gail, Lilly Lou, Harley D., and Sneakers, four pie-loving canine opportunists who view the entire crisis from a dramatically different perspective.
The humans are fighting over tradition.
The dogs are planning lunch.
By the time the auction display collapses, pies are flying, witnesses are arguing, tourists are filming everything, and Sheriff Colton Smith is quietly reconsidering every career decision he has ever made.
Because in Brindle Creek, even dessert can become a full-scale community disaster.
