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!

Praise for The Diva Sweetens the Pie

Praise for the Domestic Diva Mysteries by Krista Davis

"Reader alert: Tasty descriptions may spark intense cupcake cravings."--The Washington Post

"This satisfying entry in the series will appeal to readers who enjoy cozies with a cooking frame, like Diane Mott Davidson's Goldy Schulz mysteries."- Booklist on The Diva Cooks up a Storm

"Mystery-wise, I felt that this was the strongest of Ms. Davis's plots to date. I also really enjoyed the ongoing developments in our regular cast of characters' personal lives: Natasha especially is a hoot, even if appallingly so on more than one occasion. I'm already looking forward to the next installment in the series!" - CriminalElement on The Diva Cooks up a Storm

"The Diva Cooks up a Storm" is the eleventh title in the Domestic Diva Mystery series penned by Krista Davis, and all the characters readers love are back and in top form, including Sophie's ex-husband Mars, local funeral parlor entrepreneur, Humphrey Brown, and arbiter (in her mind) of all things that are in good taste, Natasha. It's a delicious mystery, and I loved it!" - Suspense Magazine
