Recent pie ruined, most shocking here! (9)

I believe the answer is:

epicentre

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'most shocking here' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'recent pie ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'recent'+'pie'='recentpie'
'recentpie' with letters rearranged gives 'EPICENTRE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for epicentre that I've seen before include "Point directly above the focus of an earthquake" , "hub of quake" , "Shakiest point" , "Quaking heart" , "focal point" .)
