Product Description

Some Wedding Advice from the Domestic Diva: Keeep the food....Lose the Groom!

Sophie Winston's sister, Hannah, is getting married-again! And if you ask Sophie, her future brother-in-law is no prince. But is he a killer? That's the question on everyone's mind when his ex-wife is found hanging from a pergola. This is one event Sophie and her sister hadn't planned on.

As hidden family secrets begin to come to light, Sophie finds the list of suspects is almost as long as the list of wedding guests. Will the real killer be seated on the groom's side or the bride's? Or will he be standing at the altar? Either way, Sophie must solve the murder in time to stop her sister from making the biggest-and possibly the last-mistake of her life.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Mystery, June 7, 2009
Krista Davis's second book is as much fun as her first, the Diva Runs Out of Thyme. Maybe even more fun, since we know know some of the characters from the last book. The story is fast and funny. You feel like you're sitting in Sophie's warm kitchen when she's making some of those delicious snacks and meals for the people who keep dropping in and are always hungry. Every chapter ends with a zinger which makes you read the next one immediately. I read this book in one stretch because I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next Diva book!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Diva Takes the Cake--and so does Krista Davis!, June 7, 2009
If you enjoyed the first book in this delectable series, you'll love this one. Krista Davis is a master at creating memorable characters. They're nutty, they're sneaky, they're comical--and they're all just plain fun, even the furry ones! Sophie and Natasha's rivalry reaches new heights when they pull together to create an unforgettable wedding for Sophie's sister, Hannah. . .who, as luck would have it, might just be marrying a killer. Everything works out in the end, though, for a deliciously satisfying denouement. Don't miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars the diva takes the cake, June 3, 2009
"The Diva Takes the Cake" is the second book in the Domestic Diva mysteries. The first book was better than I expected, & the second is no exception. The mystery centers on Sophie's sister Hannah & her soon to be husband, Craig, whose ex-wife is found murdered. Of course, Sophie begins her own investigation, & the mystery is fast paced & thoroughly kept my interest.

I love the cast of characters in these books, mostly Natasha. As horrible as she is, Natasha really gives these books some funny moments. I also love the addition of Mochie, the Ocicat, & Sophie's dog, Daisy. Of course, all of the food Sophie makes sounds wonderful, & there are recipes in the back of the book.
