Sophie knows that she's made a big mistake, when she accidentally lets her mother's famous matzo ball soup recipe to Wilda Higgins, the owner of the Petal Diner. After all, she and her sister, Sam are known to the town of Venice, Indiana as two Christian girls whose parents were killed in a car accident, not two Jewish girls who ran away from Queens, New York with their evil stepmother's money. However, Wilda quickly adds some Midwestern touches to the recipe to make it her own, and then enters it into a contest. However, when Wilda wins, and is chosen to appear on Griffin Gateauxs cable television cooking show, she invites Sophie to join her on-screen. Now, Sam must figure out a way to prevent Sophie's face from being broadcast all over the media, or their identities will definitely be blown. But that's the least of their worries, for Wilda and Griffin quickly disappear while touring local dairy farms, and now it's up to Sophie and Sam, along with their Private Investigator boss, Gus, to find Wilda and Griffin before they're both...deceased.
My review
Margo Rabb has a fantastic way of writing her books and makes it feel like everything is happening in real life. When I read her books I seem to read twice as fast as usual and lose track of time! Margo defiantly deserves an award for writing such an amazing series!It is such a shame that this Fabulous series has came to an end.
Case #4 The unsuspecting gourmet was and awesome book!! Case #2 was my favorite book in the series! Actually I loved all the books in this series equally. This is my favorite series along with the Trixie Belden books.

In this book Sophie accidentally shares her mothers delicious Matzo ball soup recipe with Wilda Higgins, the owner of the Petal Diner. Wilda added a few personal touches and then entered it in a contest. Sophie didn't think it wouldn't have a chance of winning But unfortunately... It won!! When Griffin Gateaux's crew appears in the town to start rehearsing the show,The girls have to quickly make up a reasonable excuse to get Sophie out of it or else her face will be plastered all over the Media and their cover will be blown. But they needn't 
worry because Wilda and griffin quickly disappear. Now it's up to Sophie Sam and their Private Investigator Boss, Gus, To find Wilda and Griffin before it's to late.

Hope you enjoy reading these 4 exciting mystery books, if you like these books you will also like reading the Trixie Belden Books!! Enjoy

I rate this book 9 out of 10. Terrific book!
In this book the sisters uncover the truth about Gus and find that he has a son called Jack that left home and apparently travelled to Los-vegas to have a career in show biz. Will they ever be able to find Jack amidst the busyness of los-Vegas???

It is sad that there is only one more book of the series to read:(
Margo Said that she will be releasing a new book coming out next year!!
I know it is a long time to wait but... I know that her new book will be awesome!!Enjoy,
