Publisher's summary

In New York Times best-selling 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.

Krista Davis’s characters act more like your good friends

As usual the domestic diva mysteries are fun, funny and entertaining. She keeps you pondering on who done it while growing hungry to try the yummy recipes.

Went to fast!

I waited with anticipation for this book and now it's over. Sob! Another wonderful addition to the Diva series. Can't wait for the next one!

I've enjoyed everything Krista Davis wrote so far

I feel the main characters are old friends and was saddened, not surprised at ending.

I love this series!

The narrator does an amazing job with all the different character's voices. The stories are great, I feel like I'm friends with all these people!

Makes you wanting more

Every time I pick up another Dive book it's like a reunion with friends! I love how the characters draw you in and you need to know more of what they are doing in their lives. This installment has you wanting pie. I loved that Natasha was banned from the event. The Old Town friends ban together to help solve the mysterious death of the pie judge. The very end was a surprise, needed to happen but was sad.

Another great book

Krista Davis does a very good job keeping this long established series fresh and interesting. Each book is well written with engaging characters and a well developed plot. I like how the core characters engage with each other. I was a bit disappointed in the way Sophie handled things with Alex. I look forward to see how things develop in the next book.

Love this series!
