The Diva Sweetens the Pie (A Domestic Diva Mystery #12) by Krista Davis has Sophie Winston in chaos after the the pie festival crumbles. 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.
While I have read all twelve books in the last year, each mystery is different and Sophie and her friends are amazing characters. I still get annoyed by Natasha but I come to realize she is there for comedic activities. The mystery was interesting given that so many things were connected. It kept me guessing to the very end when the big reveal happened. I was shocked as were several of the characters. This book was probably not my favorite in the series but it definitely was not my least favorite either. Sophie also came to a realization and dealt with some personal matters that left me surprised as well. Overall this was a very good book and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.
