Family can drive you crazy, but can they drive you to murder? Something is going on in Hallow's Bend, and Ariel Black will need to get to the bottom of it. Her ghostly visions have taken new shape and they're trying to communicate with her. What they want, she still has yet to learn. Meanwhile, Ariel gets the chance to meet a new member of the family, Bobby's mother, Wilma. But when there is a death at Wilma's nursing home, foul play is suspected, and Wilma becomes a prime suspect. When ghosts mix with murder, it creates a cocktail of epic proportions and if Ariel isn't careful, she may end up on the wrong side of the living and the dead. She'll need to enlist the help of her hunky sheriff boyfriend, her friends, and her smart aleck cat, Dori, to solve the case. Unfortunately, she'll have to figure out how to keep the ghosts at bay all on her own. The Pies That Bind is the fifth book in the Witches of the Pacific Northwest Series.
