A Pie to Die For: A Bakery Detectives Cozy Mystery

68/100
👎 Skip It
Rachael's bakery drama and the race to clear her own name before it costs her the business make for a breezy, fast-moving mystery, and the quirky small-town cast has clearly kept readers coming back for 15 books. It's solid genre comfort food, but I don't have anything beyond the premise and series longevity to point to as a standout.
