About this listen

Este March runs the family-owned Lucky Pie Diner on Split Pine Island in Northern Michigan. The pies at Lucky Pie aren't just good, they're magical, with a family recipe that grants certain customers their greatest hopes and dreams when they eat the pie. The remote island is closed to outsiders over the winter months, but on the last day of the season, the unpopular new produce vendor, Jeff, turns up dead on his boat, and Split Pine Island's peace goes up in smoke.

Tom Cunningham, the local sheriff, casts suspicion onto Este, who may have been the last person to see Jeff alive. Not to mention several people witnessed her getting into an argument with the rude vendor in some of his final hours. Este decides to clear her name and her diner's reputation by launching her own investigation, which means she must turn suspicion on her friends and neighbors, because only a local could have murdered the victim.

As Este investigates, she uncovers a deeper web of secrets, finding that many of the locals had reason to either frame her, or kill the victim. The clock is ticking to figure out the killer, and the clues in the case are flakier than an apple pie. Este will have to uncover the killer before her future crumbles.

It was reallly slow

I read it on audio and the voice of the actress narrating sounded like she was in her 60s when the protagonist was in her 30s so I had a hard time picturing her since I kept picturing an older lady because of the voice. The story was very slow and I found it odd that the guilty person was never introduced earlier on in the story. Estie to me was incredibly frustrating and stubborn, the magical aspect was lackluster at best. I don’t recommend it. It did have cozy vibes though. I just didn’t connect with any characters.

Boring and Stereotypical

A Pie to Die For is a boring and stereotypical cozy mystery. There are too many inner monologues. I got bored and I'm not going to finish it.
