It's
Cozy Food Friday!

That means it's time to share a recipe from 
another great cozy mystery!

This week's recipe is from
THE DIVA SPICES IT UP
Book 13 in the Domestic Diva Mysteries
by Krista Davis


She's a young Martha Stewart...in Old Town Virginia!
New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis delights with the 13th in her enormously popular and completely charming Domestic Diva Mystery series. When a celebrity ghostwriter dies on the job, it's up to Sophie Winston, Old Town, Virginia's favorite entertaining expert and sporadic sleuth, to whip up an impromptu investigation...


Sophie never considered ghostwriting as a side gig, until former actress and aspiring lifestyle guru, Tilly Stratford, trophy wife of Wesley Winthrope, needs someone to write her celebrity cookbook. Sophie agrees, hoping she'll earn enough bread on this assignment to finish her bathroom renovations. But as it turns out, Sophie isn't the first foodie to get a taste for recipe ghostwriting, and if the marginalia are any indication, this project could be a killer...

Wesley claims professional ghostwriter, Abby Bergeron, suddenly abandoned Tilly's cookbook with no warning. But Sophie quickly discovers that Abby may be more ghost than writer now...and her disappearance was no accident. So Sophie cracks open a fresh investigation but sifting the seasoned murderer from this sampling of salty suspects won't be easy. Will Sophie savor another case closed or will the culprit simply melt away?

My Book Beginnings 

Dear Sophie,
My mother-in-law takes great pride in her cooking. But it's so hot that I can't eat it. Seriously, my tongue goes numb. I watch the others eat with gusto. Do you think she's adding something to my plate so I won't come to dinner at her house?

  2. My first line –
    Reverend Staples stood before Hayley and Bruce and all the wedding guests filled the pews of the Congregational church and asked, “If anyone here has just cause why these two people should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace.”
    My 56 –
    “Look on the bright side, Mom. Now you have a reason to avoid her! It’s actually a win-win!” Hayley said.
