Live and Let Pie: A Bakeshop Mystery

De: Ellie Alexander

Narrado por: Marietta DePrima

Ellie Alexander's Live and Let Pie is the most delicious installment yet in the fantastic Bakeshop Mysteries set in Ashland, OR!

Life is sweet once you step into Torte, everybody’s favorite small-town bakeshop. But what happens when it becomes the scene of a crime?

The heat is on for pastry chef, family business operator, and unlikely sleuth Jules Capshaw. Just when she thought she could enjoy some time away from the kitchen, Jules manages to discover a skull during a picnic by the lake. As if unearthing remains that may be connected to a missing-persons case from the 1960s isn’t enough on her plate, Jules must contend with the unsolved matter of her own marriage while her estranged husband Carlos sails the open seas, awaiting a verdict. Then there’s Jules’ bitter landlord Edgar, who is intent on making a sweet deal on a vacant lot down the block from Torte - until he turns up dead. If only Jules could find a recipe that would let her bake her cake and eat it, too....

Still prefer other reader

Good mystery but the reader is not as good as the other one. Can't wait for new book!

Another winner

Ellie Alexander has crafted another great installment in the Bakeshop Mystery series. It has all the characters found in previous books with an intriguing mystery too. This series has become much more interesting with every book.
Marietta DePrima gave an outstanding performance as she breathed life into the storyline and gave each character their own distinct voice.
I highly recommend this book/audiobook to fans of cozy mysteries.

Really enjoyed this cozy!!!

I don’t like Lance’s voice as much in the narration of this book. That’s such a small thing though. It was a great cozy mystery. I’m hooked on this series.

Decent story, slow narrator

The story was good, as all have been in this series. I feel like the crime part of the story could have been wrapped up a bit more thoroughly at the end. The narration drove me nuts. Speech cadence was very slow. I felt like the reader was talking to me as though I was a young child or someone who is not fluent in Englush or who is hard of hearing. The slow speed prevented a good flow of the story and kind of ruined the "imagination" element.
