Description

Lifestyle maven Sophie Winston is coordinating a convention for ghost kitchens in Old Town, Alexandria-and trying to keep a killer from making a deadly delivery . . . Sophie is busy handling the first ever convention of the Association of Ghost Kitchens-restaurants that do delivery only-but she's taking a little time out for a lunch meeting organized by A Healthy Meal. The group is dedicated to providing meals for children in need, and as a bonus, it'll give Sophie the perfect opportunity to ogle the lavish Old Town home of socialite Geraldine Stansfield. Gerrie's dining room is impeccably furnished, the table laden with gleaming crystal and prized china. If it weren't for the dead man lying on the floor, everything would be perfect . . . No one knows the victim-or at least, no one claims to. But a little snooping by Sophie reveals links to many local notables. In fact, not only was he a client of Geraldine's late husband, an attorney-every member of the Stansfield clan knew the deceased. But only one knows what he was doing in Gerrie's house. Gerrie's elegant abode looks spotless, but there's plenty of dirty linen in those family closets. Now Sophie will have to get the killer to come clean before he spoils another appetite-for good . . . Includes delicious recipes and fabulous DIY decorating tips!

Praise for Krista Davis's Domestic Diva Mysteries

"The nicely delineated setting and sympathetic characters are reminiscent of Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen cozies, which also include baking and a group of close friends working together to solve crimes." --Booklist on The Diva Says Cheesecake!

"Lots of recipes, household tips, quaint locals, and sometimes sharp squabbles--but the big story here is bling." --Kirkus Reviews on The Diva Serves Forbidden Fruit

"The Diva Spices It Up is full of surprises as author Krista Davis teases readers with one plot twist after another. This series just keeps getting better!" --Suspense Magazine

"Delicious chaos...A fun read that even comes with real recipes!" --Woman's World, Book Club Pick for The Diva Sweetens the Pie

"Mystery-wise, I felt that this was the strongest of Ms. Davis's plots to date. I also really enjoyed the ongoing developments in our regular cast of characters' personal lives: Natasha especially is a hoot, even if appallingly so on more than one occasion. I'm already looking forward to the next installment in the series!" --Criminal Element on The Diva Cooks up a Storm

"Loaded with atmosphere and charm." --Library Journal
