Breach of Crust

Charmed Pie Shoppe Mystery Series, Book 5

By: Ellery Adams

Narrated by: C.S.E Cooney

Ella Mae LeFaye's delicious pies are still drawing long lines, as well as the attention of Beatrice Burbank, president of the Camellia Club, a philanthropic organization comprised of high-society Southern ladies from the charming and affluent town of Sweet Briar, Georgia. To ensure the success of their centennial dessert cookbook, Bea hires Ella Mae to teach the tasty tricks of her trade to the club's members at their annual retreat. Eager to work on new recipes for customers with food allergies and dietary restrictions, Ella Mae readily agrees.

But when Ella Mae finds Bea's body floating in Lake Havenwood, she wonders what she's gotten herself mixed up in. Someone certainly wanted Bea to eat humble pie, and the retreat offers no shortage of unsavory characters, including Ella Mae's longtime nemesis, Loralyn Gaynor. Ella Mae definitely doesn't need magic to tell her that she must find the killer before someone else gets panned.

Critic reviews

"Delicious, delightful and deadly! Full of enchanting characters... will leave readers longing for seconds." (Jenn McKinlay, author of Copy Cap Murder)

OK

I was put off by the performance, the story was lovely..The audio story teller was off putting. I will not order this same audible reader again. A horrible voice in ,she could not pull off a southern voice.

review

this book was entertaining and I found a bit
predictable. I am surprised there is not a sequel

Loved it

I like how the narrator had a voice for each character. It kept me entertained. This is why I like mystery books.

I love the balance!

The balance is once again very good between the pie shop, family, friends, pets, romance versus the magic, greed, evil etc. I've enjoyed this series a lot!

Wonderful ending

As interesting as the others in this series. Good distraction from the unpleasant things in life these days. Liked the ending.
