Thank you Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books for a ARC copy of this book. This was an honest review.

This book kept me glued to the page. There was a lot of suspense and tension. In spite of the story being fiction, the plot felt real in the sense that these things really happen. Daisy's pies have a kind of magic that makes the bad guy see the error of his ways. She can murder them with her pies. My favorite part of her story was her connection to her diner family, where she works even in times of trouble. The motivation behind Daisy's efforts to help save women that have been abused is heartwarming to me. netgalley6 s Leia Sedai102 63

After being disappointed by the second book being a formulaic knockoff of the GBBO I was happy to see The Last to Pie return to the original charm and coziness that made me love the first book. I was delighted for Noel and the other characters to have screen time again, and the idea of baking murder magic into a pie continues to be a fun premise to explore. While sad, the social commentary was accurate without overburdening the storyline.

Thank you to #NetGalley for letting me read this ARC.

I can't help it, I love this series. Do I think it's incredibly well written? No. Do I think that the characters are fascinating? Also no. Is the plot supersmart? No again.
What I love is the idea of it. I'm a sucker for a good pun, which combined with my love of murder mysteries and baking is what made me reach for this series to begin with. And is why I still jump at the chance to read the latest one.

I do however have a couple of complaints.
I think that most of the characters are a bit bland, and tend to be a bit stereotypical, but I do think that they are improving as the series continues. There's some tension in the relationship between Daisy and her boyfriend, which I think is much needed for there to be anything interesting about either of those characters at all (and yes, I'm still hoping she dumps him for Melly). It was also quite surprising, at least to me, and I appreciated that in a series that otherwise struggles with being a little too predictable. I think that there's a bit of a Nancy Drew problem here, with the main character being a little too perfect. We are told that she has issues, but they are always sort of magically only there when it's convenient, or she's capable of getting over them, or she always has people around her that accept her anyways and have absolutely no problem with it. It makes the whole set-up feel a little childish at times. On the other hand, the relationship problems that surfaced in this third installment finally shows her in a less perfect light, which ironically make her a much more able character.

The thing with this series is that I mostly complain about the things I think are wrong with it, but I also can't wait for the next one... so my complaining is probably just me being snobbish.

This gets a 3 out of 5 stars as a whole from me, but let it be known that the idea is 5 out of 5 and I'll keep on reading them until there are no more to be had.4 s Trisha5,081 186 Want to read

#TheLasttoPie #NetGalley is an intense cozy mystery that had me gripping my Kindle until the last page.
Baking pies is what Daisy does, but when she receives a request for a special pie, things go wrong and Daisy won't stop until she finds what she's looking for.
I loved this book so much, even though its fiction, I would love to be able to request my own special pie!

Thanks to Crooked Lane Books and Netgalley for giving me early access to this book in return for a review.

This book was a lot of fun. The Last to Pie is the third book in the Pies Before Guys Mystery series by Misha Popp. This was the first book in the series that I've read and the first book by Misha.

It follows Daisy Ellery who has special magic that allows her to infuse her pies with different emotions, including so much guilt that you will die. She welds this magic for good, making pies for the local diner that give patrons the feeling of comfort, selling pies at the local college campus that help students focus and feel confident, and of course baking murder pies for women escaping abusive relationship. She gets an order for her murder pie business from a partner of a police officer. When the woman mysteriously disappears before the pie can be delivered, Daisy knows something is wrong. She goes on an adventure to find and save the woman and puts her life in danger in the process.

most cozy mystery series this book doesn't require you read the first two in the series, and does a really good job at catching you up on where Daisy is in her life and what her relationship with her friends are . I found the characters mostly believable and fun.

It was a cute quick read. The relationships were good and the setting was really charming, I am going to look at finding the first two books in the series because this one was so fun.1 Caitlin C426 14

This series is getting better by the book! I could ot put this one down. Daisy's relatioship with Noel is getting more intense at the same time Melly is pushing he rway in to the picture. Diasy has always walked the legal line. Daisy comes from a long line of magical women. Women who can imbed their magic in their crafts. In Daisy's instance she bakes pies, specifically murder pies. She has built a business around providing women who have been abused with a pie that will kill the recipient, and only that recipient.

Daisy gets a request from a woman who says she is in danger and doesn't know if she is going to make it. After reaching out once, she vanishes. Daisy has a strict set of rules she follows, but this woman gets under her skin. She needs to know more and needs to save her. She breaks her own rules and starts searching for this woman. It is made more difficult by the fact tha the abuser is a police officer.

Noel is not supportive of this, although he wants to build a life with Daisy, he is pushing back on her. Melly steps up and helps Daisy with the interrogation. Daisy also grows closer to her diner family, which was erally cool to see.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

What if you could request a pie that would kill only the person who's done you wrong? Everyone else could eat it and be fine, but only the person the poison is meant for would get poisoned. That's exactly what Daisy Ellery does in her business Pies Before Guys. A baker can't make a living on making murder pies alone, so she also bakes safe bakes, with a little magic, at a local diner. When a domestic abuse victim emails her seeking a murder pie for her abusing partner, Daisy looks into the details. As she starts to look closer and the woman goes missing, her abuser sets his sights on Daisy as his next target.

This is the latest in a mystery series, the third book in it, but I had no idea that it was a series when I started. I honestly thought it was the first book in a series when I picked it up. I had no problem finding myself among the characters or the story. Misha Popp did a fantastic job reminding readers what happened before, for those that are in the same shoes as me. I definitely want to go back and read the other two books in the series and I hope she'll write more in the future with these characters.

Trigger warning for domestic abuse.

4.5/5

Daisy is back again with deadly pies in book three! I really love this series! This book felt significantly darker than the last two books. There was less of the happy, silliness found in the last two books. The entire series deals with making murderous pies to kill domestic abusers, so there is a darkness to the whole series. This book just felt much darker than the last two. I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing. This added more realism and a heightened sense of suspense. I was on the edge of my seat for pretty much this entire book!

I will continue reading this series as long as it keeps getting written and published, so I hope it is not over anytime soon!

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest rating and review. 1 Jen Ryland1,685 924 Read

A bit confused. I thought this was first in a new series but surprise, it's book three. The good news is that you don't have to read the prior books to understand this one!

The Pies before Guys series feels heavily inspired by Waitress (movie and Broadway show).

This modern cozy features a paranormal element and a bunch of social issues. Daisy has hereditary talents for baking pies that kill. Yes, she's a pie assassin for hire.

Overall this was a fun updated cozy read. I was hoping that there would be a twist in the plot, but it was pretty straightforward.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an advance copy for review!

I did skim through this book up until the end, but did not read the second half thoroughly. However, I am familiar with the entirety of its plot, so I can provide a complete opinion.
