    About this audiobook

    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.

    • 4/5
      Celebrity cook Patsy Lee Presley has come to Old Town Alexandria to serve as judge at the annual pie festival but before the judging can begin Patsy Lee keels over and dies. Turns out murder has been on someone's menu and now Sophie Winston, as the event coordinator feels obligated to find out who. But that's not all that's on Sophie's agenda in the culinary environment, a young girl has enlisted her in finding who really killed local restaurateur, Grainger Gibbard 5 years ago. It seems the young girl's mother was convicted of the murder but her daughter and family feel there was a rush to judgment and inadequate representation. Could the cases be connected since Patsy Lee and Grainger had worked together?The characters are well done, the mystery compelling and it was just plain fun!
