\nWhen Savvy Summers first opened Essie's soul food café\;\, she never exp ected her customer-favorite sweet potato pie to become the center of a mur der investigation. But when Grandy Jaspers\, the 75-year-old neighborhood womanizer\, drops dead at table two\, she suddenly has more to worry about than just maintaining Essie's reputation for the finest soul food in the Chicagoland area.
\nEven as the police deem Grandy&rsquo\;s death an accident\, Savvy quickly finds herself&mdash\;and her beloved café\ ;&mdash\;in the middle of an entire city&rsquo\;s worth of bad press. Desp erate to clear her name and keep her business afloat\, Savvy and her snoop ing assistant manager\, Penny Lopé\;s\, take it upon themselves to f ind who really killed Grandy.
\nBut with a slimy investor harassing her to sell her name and business\, customers avoiding her sweet potato pi e like the plague\, and her police sergeant ex-husband suddenly back in th e picture\, will Savvy be able to clear the café\;&rsquo\;s name and solve Grandy&rsquo\;s murder before it all falls apart?
\nAfter all \, while Savvy always said her sweet potato pie was to die for\, she never meant literally.
