The Diva Sweetens the Pie The Diva Sweetens the Pie

Publisher Description

In New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis’s new Domestic Diva mystery, Old Town’s annual Pie Festival crumbles into chaos after a celebrity judge is murdered, leaving it up to entertaining maven and sometime-sleuth Sophie Winston to dole out justice . . .
 
Nothing heats up Old Town quite like the annual Pie Festival, and this year is no exception, especially since Sophie’s professional rival, Natasha Smith, is barred from participating. Sophie, meanwhile, has been asked to oversee the pie-eating contest. But the drama really rolls out when celebrity judge, Patsy Lee Presley, host of television’s most popular cooking show, bites the crust during the competition, and Sophie’s friends are suspected of the crime.
 
As the folks of Old Town dish, the tough truth about Patsy’s meteoric rise to domestic stardom begins to leak. It turns out that Patsy’s sweet exterior hid a secret sour side, which alienated many of her closest allies, including a jilted ex-husband, a bitter ex-mentor, and a jaded ex-best friend. With the festival falling apart, and her friends in danger of being boxed up for murder, Sophie must cobble together the clues and stop a flakey fiend from serving up any more deadly desserts.
 
Includes delicious recipes and entertaining tips!

Loved This

Another amazing story in this series with a number of recipes perfect for any season but especially summer (in my opinion). The characters remain the quirky, lovable characters we have come to embrace. The plot is fast-paced and fun. The mystery was a lot of fun to guess the who and why. It’s hard to discuss one particular part without giving anything away, but I am still left a little disappointed that the emotional delivery wasn’t there.

Thank you to Kensington Books, Krista Davis, and NetGalley for allowing me the opportunity to read this book and share my honest thoughts and opinions about it.
