This is a pretty solid cozy mystery. I really only have one issue with it - I personally read the cozies to get away from the real world but this one brought the real world to me in the form of politics a little too often for my liking. 

Now if we remove those political tidbits we still have the story so I can look past it. Their addition was unnecessary but I understand the authors need to add it in. It’s clear she’s passionate about what’s brought up. I just personally would have preferred it be left at wow this sucks and then move on since it’s hard to escape reality when it’s mentioned in your escape. 

Regardless, I love the story. I love our murdery pie baker finding herself in a mess while participating in a baking show. It was hilarious and had every vibe necessary for a cozy mystery. I received an audiobook through NetGalley and found myself really enjoying not just the story, but the narration as well. The narrator was perfect for this book and I have no complaints.
