Ella Mae LeFaye has returned to her hometown of Havenwood, Georgia after discovering her husband was cheating on her with the goal of opening her own pie shop. Supporting her in her efforts is her mother, three aunts, and their long-time maid. However, when the fiance of Ella Mae's long-time nemesis is found murdered and the murder weapon is her rolling pin, Ella Mae's return home is more difficult than she anticipated. Reading this book I was highly aware that if I'd been in the wrong mood, I would have abandoned it. However, it happened to catch me in all the optimism of a new year and I made it through the whole book but finished it with no intention of returning to this cozy mystery series. The content is pretty run of the mill for the genre although the prose runs a little heavy on the overly descriptive language. The antagonist is an over the top villain who doesn't feel like a real person. The book has a dash of magical realism throughout (Ella Mae's pies can make people feel the emotions she had when making the pie) that tips over into full out fantasy by the end of the novel. The mystery is decent but not particularly suspenseful. Overall, I don't regret the read but I'll likely forget it quickly and be entirely fine with it. Ultimately the best thing about the book is the title. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

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 fiance is found dead-killed with Ella Mae's rolling pin-it'll take all her sweet magic to clear her name. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

The main character seemed totally one-dimensional. Cliched and boring. Not to mention a bit dim-witted if she'd grown up in this household and never knew that her mother or aunts had any sort of powers.
I'm so disappointed. I was hoping I'd enjoy it as much as I enjoy the other series. ( )
