The Diva Delivers on a Promise: A Deliciously Plotted Foodie Cozy Mystery -- Krista Davis, Hardcover

The latest in the New York Times bestselling author's enormously popular culinary cozy series featuring a young Martha Stewart in the making, the maven of entertaining and sometimes sleuth Sophie Winston. Delicious recipes and a picturesque setting make this a delight for fans of Diane Mott Davidson and M.C. Beaton as Sophie must see through the lies of the potential suspects and try to keep a killer at a convention of ghost kitchens from making a ghost of one of the guests...

Sophie is busy handling the first ever convention of the Association of Ghost Kitchens--restaurants that do delivery only--but she's taking a little time out for a lunch meeting organized by A Healthy Meal. The group is dedicated to providing meals for children in need, and as a bonus, it'll give Sophie the perfect opportunity to ogle the lavish Old Town home of socialite Geraldine Stansfield. Gerrie's dining room is impeccably furnished, the table laden with gleaming crystal and prized china. If it weren't for the dead man lying on the floor, everything would be perfect . . .

No one knows the victim--or at least, no one claims to. But a little snooping by Sophie reveals links to many local notables. In fact, not only was he a client of Geraldine's late husband, an attorney--every member of the Stansfield clan knew the deceased. But only one knows what he was doing in Gerrie's house.

Gerrie's elegant abode looks spotless, but there's plenty of dirty linen in those family closets. Now Sophie will have to get the killer to come clean before he spoils another appetite--for good . . .

Includes delicious recipes and fabulous decorating tips!
