Review:
Emerson gets a new case and Olive (currently running her own Mac-and-Cheese restaurant) decides to come along and brings Pigby with her. Kick-ass banter ensues.

Olive and Emerson were always my favorite Pushing Daisies characters and this fic reads just like an Olive and Emerson episode of the show. The case is quirky, the banter is kicky, and the narrative is positively perfect. Plus the ending is one of the best (and most tone perfect) I've ever read.

If you're a fan of Olive, Emerson, and/or the writing of Pushing Daisies, this is most definitely the fic for you.
