New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis returns with a delicious new Domestic Diva Mystery set in Alexandria, Virginias charming Old Town neighborhood and featuring entertaining guru Sophie Winston, who loves hosting and event planning but prefers to keep things simple–if only she could…
In Old Town Alexandrias unlikeliest match, Natasha Smiths free-spirited mother, Wanda, is engaged to notoriously pompous antiques dealer, Orson Chatsworth—leaving Natasha to plan the entire wedding, beginning with an elaborate engagement party. For the extravagant affair, Natasha splurges on trendy food boards created by rising social media star, Stella St. James. The sumptuous boards go way beyond basic cheese and crackers, as Stella dazzles guests with picture-worthy butter boards, dessert boards, and even doughnut boards. Just as Natasha planned, the food is to die for—until someone actually does.
When the groom collapses, it seems as if a heart attack is to blame. Then guests discover Orson was poisoned, and suddenly Stellas bespoke boards look a lot less appealing. But with an event this big, the spread of suspects is sure to be impressive. Could Orsons killer be a jilted ex-lover A money hungry relative A bitter former business partner When even Sophie is not above suspicion, she knows its time to get on board and scrape together an investigation of her own … before murder becomes the towns next trend.
