A Pie Shop Mystery

review 1: “A Good Day to Pie,” the first in the Pie Shop Mystery series by Carol Culver, introduces readers to Hanna Denton, who has returned to her home town of Crystal Cove, California, to take over The Upper Crust, the pie shop her Grannie Louise ran successfully for thirty years. Grannie has hung up her apron and retired to a ritzy local senior community, Heavenly Acres, and taken up playing Bridge—with a vengeance. These folks take playing Bridge very seriously. I mean, very seriously. They live for their daily games, and, even more importantly, their local and regional Bridge tournaments.In an effort to boost Hanna’s pie sales, Grannie invites her to bring some pies to a Bridge group. Hanna chooses to make one of Grannie’s favorite recipes—Cranberry Walnut Cream Pi... moree. The pie is a real hit among the group, until one of them, Mary Brandt, keels over. Dead. Sheesh. Grannie and Hanna become the chief suspects for the new chief of police, who just happens to be Hanna’s bad boy high school boyfriend. Hanna knows they’re both innocent and starts to investigate on her own. Turns out Mary had more enemies than friends, even among members of her own family. In fact, Hanna is hard-pressed to find anyone in town who has a good word to say about poor, dead Mary.“A Good Day to Pie” is a good way to spend some time. And pick up some dandy new recipes just in time for the holidays. I’ll have another slice, please.Reviewed by Susan Santangelo, author of “Moving Can Be Murder” for Suspense Magazine

Her Grandmother has retired, and Hanna is running her pie shop, but business is slow. Who should Hanna see but her bad-boy high school crush, now the police chief? Unfortunately, a woman at Grannie's posh retirement center has died suddenly, and her family knows she had enemies there. Sam, the police chief, thinks that Grannie mixed up the woman's pills, on purpose. Before he has a chance to arrest her, Hanna rushes to find the real murderer. less
