Sequel to: The diva cooks up a storm.

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 has been asked to oversee the pie eating contest. But when celebrity judge, Patsy Lee Presley, host of television's most popular cooking show, bites the crust during the competition, Sophie's friends are suspected of the crime. As the folks of Old Town dish, it turns out that Patsy's sweet exterior hid a secret sour side. Among the suspects: a jilted ex-husband, a bitter ex-mentor, and a jaded ex-best friend. Can Sophie cobble together the clues and stop a flaky fiend from serving up any more deadly desserts? -- adapted from jacket.
