Sorry, but the title did not live up to the book. Yes, there was a storm in the beginning that kept the main character from leaving town, and yes, Sophie cooks, but the title seems to be incongruous to what is actually happening in the book.
Unable to leave town and wanting to attend an underground dinner, Sophie stays in Old Town, Virginia and bumps into Hollis Haberman who is stumbling from his home gasping for breath. Since this is not Sophie’s first rodeo when it comes to death, and since Hollis had told her at the dinner party someone was trying to poison him, she is quickly on her phone summoning help – much to the surprise of no one.
With Hollis’s death, all fingers begin to point to his young wife Kelsey, but we all know that the obvious is not going to work, so Krista Davis does her best to confuse the matter and begins throwing more characters and past misdeeds into the mix all the while having Sophie in the kitchen whipping up meals for her neighbors to sit and solve crimes over.
Though not impressed with this book, I do have to admit that I enjoy the recurring characters. They each have their place in Old Town, and their interactions are hilarious especially when Natasha gets a wild idea and they all, in unison, roll their eyes.
