May Turkey Day: Muss and Fuss and a Killer to Truss

She's domestic, but she's no diva.  That's the appeal of Sophie Winston, the heroine of Krista Davis's Domestic Diva mysteries, which I read about on the delightful Olla-Podrida.  No, the real diva is Natasha, Sophie's fellow chef-slash-lifestyle guru and lifelong frenemy.  As if that isn't enough, Natasha is engaged to Sophie's ex-husband.  What's a crackerjack cook to do?

Solve a few murders, if seems.  At least that's the plan in The Diva Runs Out of Thyme, the first book in the series.  It's not like Sophie meant to find that Ocicat-breeding PI in a Dumpster, or that mogul bludgeoned with a trophy at the Stupendous Stuffing Shakedown.  But once she's implicated, there's little she can do to extricate herself -- and that goes double for dealing with Natasha.  What's more, she's hosting a houseful of randos for Thanksgiving and juggling two potential suitors.  It all adds up to the kind of kooky cozy that I can't resist.

I love having a new series to savor.

So many mysteries, so little thyme.

Love the book title!! The play on words is so clever. It definitely sounds like a "kooky cozy" read and how fun to discover a new series to get into. Happy reading! πŸ“–πŸ’•

Thanks for the shout out! I really love this series, and I think you will too. Krista Davis cannot write these books fast enough to suit me. All of the characters have become like old friends, and I’m always interested in seeing what they are up to next.
