You didn’t ask for a sequel. You didn’t need it. Surely, you didn’t want it. (Sorry for calling you Shirley.) But here it is anyway, the sequel to (A Day in) The Life of Pie: Pie 2 - A Bigger Slice of Pie!

Yes, those two desperate, attention-seeking playwrights, Christopher Plumridge and Morey Norkin, are at it again. Follow PI John Pie as he tries to unravel the mystery of who killed Maxwell with his silver hammer. (You can already see where this is headed.)

But wait! You say you haven’t read the first Pie adventure? Well, now you can listen to it!
