Resumen del Editor

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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.

Fun, uplifting, murder mystery

this story made me want to bake pies and ruminate on the mysteries of the world.

Nice sweet ending

The ending was sweet. The book was good. It drowned on just a little bit, but I really liked the resolution with Opal, but to the narrator please retire the voice that you use for Reba because it is just so obnoxious, and I don’t know anyone who sounds like that, and I am from the south..

Love Ellery Adams!

This is the best series I have read so far by Ellery. I have read many different ones but the storyline and depth of characters make it difficult to put down. It keeps you engaged and wanting more! Narration is also great!

good story line

I loved the story line. I didn't love the narrator. she was stiff at times and over pronounced words. other words she dropped the gs in ing to sound more southern im guessing but it was annoying. I liked the story enough to finish the books but I won't listen to her again.

I believe in magic...

This series by Ellery Adams can not be classified as just a cozy mystery nor a paranormal mystery, it falls somewhere between both. The Author is able to immerse the reader into a world of believable magic and still tell a story beyond the magic itself. As a reader, I know I have found a strong read when I close the book and wonder what will happen next. Adams use of imagery allows the reader to “see” in detail the events that are unfolding within the plot without being overly wordy. The plot and subplot have some dark moments, not as clean as a typical cozy mystery, just enough to capture the moments without grotesque descriptions. The plot is well developed and the characters for the most part are believable.

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.
