The Diva Cooks Up a Storm - Krista Davis

nIn New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis's new Domestic Diva mystery, a trendy, underground dinner club leaves some guests six-feet-under the table--and entertaining professional and amateur sleuth Sophie Winston hopes she has all the right ingredients to put a murderer on ice . . .

n Sophie Winston can whip up an elaborate event in her sleep, but as the hippest hostess she rarely gets to enjoy the full guest treatment. Which is why her best friend, Nina Reid Norwood, loops her in to the latest culinary craze: a pop-up gourmet dinner party. The celebrity chef, epicurean menu, and high-profile attendees are all a surprise, turning the decadent dining experience into the hottest ticket in Old Town.

But Sophie's just pleased as punch that she can join her fellow foodies in some fun . . .

n n The posh party proves to be a recipe for disaster when Hollis Haberman sours spirits by bringing his own hot new dish--his young trophy wife. With Hollis's son and ex-wife in attendance, there may be more heat at the table than in the kitchen. But the next morning, Sophie discovers Hollis swallowing his last bits of air, and she must scramble to stop a killer before anyone else eats their last meal.
