Publisher's summary

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.

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.

Okay

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

Overly Sweet

While I adore cozy mysteries and desserts of any kind, I found Pies and Prejudice a little too sweet and unrealistic to be entertaining.

Very Sweet

What made the experience of listening to Pies and Prejudice the most enjoyable?

The story kept me interested through the whole read. Never felt the desire to just skip over a part.

What did you like best about this story?

The aunts.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Probably. But I was driving cross country and had to stop occasionally.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this so much, I've already purchased the other four books in the series.

too many superfluous detail for me

The basic concept of the story is okay, I didn't feel as though the real meat of the story showed up until the last chapter. In the beginning I was a bit frustrated with all the minut descriptive words and found that it was too many minor details for me. Some people may enjoy all the tiny little details, I find them a hindrance in my ability to go forward with the story.

No to the Narrator

It's a shame when a good-enough book gets a bad narrator. This book is a little overwritten with a sophomoric use of adjectives, but if you like magical mystery cozies, it's a fine read and a good start to a series. But the narrator gets in the way. It's clear that Cooney is unfamiliar with many of the words, and as a consequence she mispronounces them. Her accents are horrible, which is less her fault than it is the fault of the producer for hiring her. I finished the book but I won't be coming back to the series. It's the narrator who killed this series.
