Alice's beloved Aunt Polly dies, leaving her award-winning pie crust recipe to her cat, Lardo. When Lardo, a pie, and a key disappear, Alice decides to investigate. Her active imagination propels this small-town 1955-set mystery, resulting in an appreciation for family and friends. A slew of recipes calling for premade crusts--not one for the hyped pie dough--are included.
