Old Town Virginia’s entertaining guru and occasional sleuth Sophie Winston – a young Martha Stewart in the making – juggles Fourth of July fireworks, a houseful of guests, and homicide in the latest Domestic Diva culinary mystery from New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis.

With a big crowd descending on her Northern Virginia home, it’s a good thing event planner Sophie Winston is an expert at entertaining. Whipping up patriotic pastries is as easy as pie for her, though meeting the man her widowed Aunt Melly just impulsively married in Las Vegas is a little more awkward. Especially when Melly’s longtime, now-heartbroken secret admirer is there too, which could lead to some fireworks.

But the house party really gets explosive when Sophie’s favorite tour guide falls victim to a killer—and evidence points to Sophie’s own father. Will DNA really incriminate her dad? And what’s the real story with her new uncle-by-marriage and the mysterious pal he’s brought along with him? Some of the secrets Sophie’s discovering are raising flags—and while the police department casts suspicion on her father, she has to declare her independence as a detective to find the real culprit, and serve justice along with her red, white, and blue cupcakes . . .

Includes delicious recipes, fabulous decorating tips, and easy entertaining hacks!

What I Thought:

Krista Davis has done it again with the Diva Series. This is one of my favorite series. I love the characters, the setting, and most things about this series. This is the 19th installment of the series, but this series just keeps on keeping on. It is just as good as when the series was first started. It is the Fourth of July in Old Towne and Sophie's parents, her aunt and her new husband, her sister, and some other friends have come to town for the 4th. Sophie is suspicious of her Aunt's new husband for many reasons. When there is a dead body found in an alley behind a neighbors house, Sophie gets involved. As I said this series does not get old and Krista Davis does very well with coming up with interesting and realistic plots that keep a readers attention. I was invested in this book from the beginning till the end. There was so much going on it kept me turning the pages. I hope the Diva series keeps on for a long time and I look forward to reading more in this series.
