Pies and Prejudice by Heather Vogel Frederick - review

Thanks for reminding me of my lowly state, Sam.” Dean said, throwing his brother a dirty look. “You’re not exactly rolling in it yourself yet. Or had you forgotten we’re still paying for those fancy schools you went to. Hey, here’s an idea, maybe you should apply and leave me out of it?” The contestants were a decent bunch, on the whole. A real mixed bag of personalities, drawn from every walk of life you could imagine. Each of them had a definite “story” to tell, as Pam put it, and not one of them was naive enough to believe that they had ended up with such an interesting and diverse cast by happy chance. “This is show business,” was all Pam said with a shrug, and a tap of her pointed shoes on the hardwood floor, when Dean had asked about it. Dean had expected to be alone among a crowd of little old ladies, and it was a pleasant surprise when he found the other contestants were just regular folk – and yes, that did include some older ladies. It turned out baking was a more popular pastime than Dean had realised. Then again, how was he supposed to have known when his own skills were born out of necessity, not choice? Sam looked sheepish. “I didn’t mean...” he started to explain, to smooth over the accidental insult. Dean was touchy when it came to money. It was a side effect of a life lived never having quite enough of it, no matter how many hours he’d worked. “Dean,” Sam said. He dropped his voice low, tried to sound reasonable and reassuring. “You love baking, cooking as well. I know you pretend you don’t, but you do, and you’re good at it too.” Presenting our new president". Walk. Ramblers. Summer 2023.

Cider with Roadies. London: Ebury Press. ISBN 978-0-09-189745-1. OCLC 890396204. This is yet another cozy mystery with a dimwit heroine. I cannot understand how authors expect readers to believe that these ladies are able to find a killer, when in reality they cannot find their rear-ends with a map? Case in point, heroine here is 30+ years old, but she still does not know that her mother and her aunts and her housekeeper are all witches. She herself is one, but let alone believing in magic, the lady doesn't even register the fact that strange things happen when she bakes her stupid pies. This ultra observant one is the one to catch a killer. Please. Andy came up with the slightly-too-personal-but-very-Andy-like, “I’m surprised you’re not too busy for something like this, big businessman like you.”

Sam started to laugh. “Oh my God, Dean,” he whispered, caught by the mood in the room. “Pam was right. This is huge.”He looks lonely,” Jody said, out of nowhere. Dean had to follow the direction of her gaze to see what she was talking about.
