Pie Shop is a thing of beauty -- twisted; disturbed; horrible beauty, that won't leave many readers untouched. Buy at your own risk.
The writing is intelligent and funny; especially the fictional interludes in wonderland (which is a very apt metaphor for what this game is: a trip so deep into the rabbit hole that few players would actually manage to roleplay this game seriously), and it describes the concept of serial killers well, without glorifying or glossing over -- except for taking everything with a good portion of dark humor that I'm sure many would find highly inapproperiate.
The rules are pretty bare bones and require a D12, but then again playing is more geared to role-playing and story telling than roll-playing and character advancement. Character creation is the best part of the rules, easily allowing you to create diverse characters with their own idiosyncracies, motives and preferences for killing. There are comprehensive lists that help this process without limiting player imagination.
The rules for combat are easy and fairly streamlined, but combat in Pie Shop is a very dangerous thing. If you get hit, or attempt to protect yourself without striking back, your chances of survival are slim -- or at least in the hands of your assailant. I haven't play tested the rules, but I imagine they make for short, intense fights that do not take up much game time. Modifications for other things than injury is left to the GM.
The entire system is easy, and leaves a lot of choices in the hands of the GM -- even which skill and attribute to use for a normal test. It's all quick and dirty but most of all flexible and 'loose', containing just enough structure for the GM and player to have a semi-solid frame for their stories.
The thing that stands out the most about Pie Shop is the dark twisted humor, and the way the author skillfully (or desperately?) balances on the edge of what can be considered tasteful.
All in all, I think it is quite a good product, and although it doesn't really seem meant for actual play, I can see it working.
I loved it -- but then again I am at least as twisted and deranged as Mr Toad...
