Mystery Monday: Pies and Prejudice by Ellery Adams

StoreyBook Reviews 

This week’s highlight is Pies and Prejudice by Ellery Adams and is the first in a new series.  I am nearly done with it and definitely enjoying the story because it has two of my favorite things….pies and dogs (well just 1 dog)!!

Synopsis:

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 flakey 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. and 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.

    I agree! I love books that combine food and murder….and the recipes in the back of the book, sound delish!

    That sounds like a tasty little mystery! Nothing like a good foodie murder.
