🥧 A Pie to Die For: A Hannah Swensen Mystery — Baking, Bodies, and Bad Alibis 🔪
"For those who think Hallmark movies should feature more pastries and a few suspiciously convenient rolling pins"

If you’ve ever watched Hallmark holiday movie* and thought,*“Where are the murders?” look no further than A Pie to Die For: A Hannah Swensen Mystery—the movie that proves nothing says “cozy” like a bakery full of suspects.

In this delightfully over-the-top caper, Hannah Swensen’s biggest worry should be whether her pie crusts are flaky enough—but nope, someone’s turned her sweet hometown into a hotbed of murder, all while she’s just trying to keep The Cookie Jar afloat. It’s The Great British Bake Off meets Dateline, but with more small-town gossip, better sweaters, and a protagonist who can’t resist sticking her nose into every crime scene like it’s her grandma’s secret recipe box.

The suspects are as plentiful as sprinkles on a Christmas cookie, the red herrings are thicker than Minnesota snowdrifts, and every conversation is somehow both heartwarming and hilariously suspicious. Meanwhile, sparks fly with Chad the Prosecuting Attorney, because of course *Hallmark movies* require a romantic subplot with lingering glances over pie dough.

Pie to Die For reminds us why we love Hallmark movies that aren’t afraid to mix butter, sugar, and homicide. It’s cozy, it’s kooky, and it will leave you craving both dessert and justice—preferably served warm with a side of small-town charm. 🥧❤️🔍
