Product Description:
Gracious living can be murder. First in an all-new mystery series— includes delicious recipes and great tips on entertaining!
Few can compete with Natasha Smith when it comes to entertaining, but her childhood rival, Sophie Winston, certainly tries. Natasha may have stolen the spotlight—and Sophie’s husband—but Sophie is determined to rob her of the prize for the Stupendous Stuffing Shakedown. She just needs the right ingredient.
But Sophie’s search for the perfect turkey takes a basting when she stumbles across a corpse. And when the police find her name and photo inside the victim’s car, Sophie will have to set her trussing aside to solve the murder—or she’ll be serving up prison grub.

Krista Davis's mystery is a hit with me. I really was kept on my toes with this mystery. The characters were great and I would recommend this new mystery to anyone who enjoys food with a little bit of bite.
The tips for decorating are great too.

"The Diva Runs Out of Thyme" was much better than I expected. I figured this book would simply be a passable cozy, yet it turned out to be a very interesting read. The plot reminded me a little of Agatha Christie's "And Then There Were None" with a family Thanksgiving theme. Basically, there is a crazy cast of characters, some family and some not, who gather for Thanksgiving dinner, and murders ensue. Sophie Winston, the narrator, looks at each guest as if they could be the murderer, and many of them have acted suspiciously.
I especially loved the character of Natasha, Sophie's rival from high school, who gets invited to Thanksgivng dinner after a series of unfortunate events. I will most definitely be reading the second book in tihs series.

I love this book and can't wait for the next! It was hard to put down to sleep! I read this in a day and a half.
Sophie is great! I would have love to seen more about Nina and less about Natasha. Personally I think that Mars would like to be around Natasha less too. She is too needy and jealous.

Event planner Sophie Winston and lifestyle columnist, TV celebrity Natasha Smith have been rivals since childhood. And now Natasha is living with Sophie's ex and coveting Sophie's house, which belonged to her ex's deceased aunt. Sophie has a busy Thanksgiving planned, with her mother, father, sister and sister's fiancé coming to visit. But things get off to a bumpy start from the get-go, when Sophie discovers the dead body of a private investigator in a dumpster. She quickly becomes a suspect when the police find her name and photo inside the dead man's car. Sophie engages in some amateur sleuthing and learns Natasha hired the PI. If that isn't bad enough, dead bodies keep turning up, all with a connection to Sophie and Natasha. On top of which, Sophie is attracted to the detective who seems convinced she's a murderer.
The very first book in the Domestic Diva series starts the ball rolling with a glorified bang. This cozy mystery delivers a plethora of useful household tips and mouth-watering recipes immersed within a keep-you-guessing plot filled with suspicious-acting characters and twists and turns around every corner. Davis's smart writing style and engaging characters are sure to garner fans anxious to read future books in the series.

I really liked this story. The writing was good, the characters were interesting, the story kept up a good pace, and the food sounded fantastic! I wish the author would hurry and write another, and turn this into a series.
