Pies and Prejudice

Charmed Pie Shoppe Mystery Series #1

When the going gets tough, Ella Mae LaFaye bakes pies. So when she catches her husband cheating in New York, she heads back home to Havenwood, Georgia, where she can drown her sorrows in fresh fruit filling and flaky crust.

But her pies aren't just delicious. They're having magical effects on the people who eat them, and the public is hungry for more. Discovering her hidden talent for enchantment, Ella Mae makes her own wish come true by opening the Charmed Pie Shoppe. But with her old nemesis, Loralyn Gaynor, making trouble and her old crush, Hugh Dylan, making nice, she has more than pie on her plate. When Loralyn's fiancé is found dead - killed with Ella Mae's rolling pin - it'll take all her sweet magic to clear her name.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[F]illed with scrumptious pie recipes, Southern charm and sassy women." ( RT Book Reviews)

Okay

Enjoyed, but may listen to one more before committing to series. Narrator sounds like she's a throwback to the days of "Hair."

Cozy and scrumptious

Try cozy mystery and delicious sounding pies.
A few nice curve balls, especially with potential love interest.

a magical mystery

This was a fun listen. made even more enjoyable because of the narration by CSE Cooney. she really brings the characters to life with her ability to take on many characters voices. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Poor narrator

If you are from the south, you make hear a mish-mash of different southern regions’ accents used interchangeably and the word usage pretty wrong. A lawyer was speaking at times like a brick-layer, which doesn’t track. The story was fine, but the narrator was hard to take.

Lovely to listen to, but…

A little long winded. Much too descriptive, with more details than th story needed. Yikes!!! Yet it was a good
