Northern Virginia’s own Martha Stewart returns in a brand-new mystery as an interior designer clashes with a killer . . .
Stylish brunches are all the rage this autumn in Old Town Alexandria, and everyone’s posting their parties on social media. But while Domestic Diva Sophie Winston juggles her event-filled calendar, she’s approached by local designer Mitzi Lawson—who is afraid someone is following her. The very next day Mitzi loses her best friend and business partner, Denise. The two were renovating a generations-old house where Denise died unexpectedly, and Mitzi fears that it wasn’t a medical condition to blame, but murder.
It could just be the shock talking, but Sophie agrees to help Mitzi involve the police. Then she receives a panicked phone call from Mitzi, and when she rushes to the old house, Mitzi is nowhere to be found. Now Sophie’s appetite for investigation is piqued even more than her appetite for eggs Benedict and mimosas.
Could Denise’s death be connected to her viper’s nest of in-laws or the house she was working on which her husband just inherited? What of the self-proclaimed etiquette expert with some improper secrets, or the scheming mistress? Or does the old house harbor secrets of its own? There’s a generous buffet of suspects to keep the Diva scrambling for an answer . . .
Includes delicious recipes and fabulous DIY decorating tips!
What I Thought:
Well, Krista Davis has done it again in this series. This is the 18th installment in this series and this series maintains being one of the best series out there. In this one, Sophie goes to the Inger House to meet her friend Mitzi and instead finds a dead body. Sophie and her group of friends, Nina, Mars and Bernie investigate to find the killer. During their investigations they uncover a few more mysteries. I really enjoyed this installment of this series. It kept my attention from the very beginning until the end of the book. I enjoyed visiting Old Town Alexandria and Sophie and her group of friends, and of course her fur babies. Sophie is a very strong protagonist and always keeps a level head. Krista Davis is an excellent author and this series just gets better and better. I will have to say I did not figure this mystery out until the very end. I have not read all in this series yet, but I am making a dent in them because this is one of my favorites series of cozy mysteries. I very much look forward to more in this series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book.
