Sophie Winston's life is a whirl of activity, as she works
overtime on Old Town, Virginia's annual home and garden
show, Rooms and Blooms. But when she discovers that her
eccentric next-door neighbor, Mordeci Artemus has died,
Sophie feels bad that she hadn't been more attentive to the
aging professor.
Mordeci's home had always been the focal point of great
speculation, and upon his death, everyone is surprised to
find out he has left his mansion to his pet Pomeranian. So
Sophie was surprised when she receives a message from
Mordeci's lawyer with his last request -- for her to plan a
party in his honor, including a detailed menu, room
arrangement plans, and a specific guest list inviting five
of his former students.
Sophie is mystified, but carries on with the request, which
includes five packages containing a key to a mysterious
puzzle that only the five students could possibly know how
to solve.
But Sophie wouldn't be Sophie if she didn't want to find
out what all the secrecy is about, much to boyfriend
Detective Wolf Fleishman's chagrin, and while she is
decorating one of the rooms of the house for the annual
statewide Home Design contest, she and her best friend,
Nina, find that the walls actually do hold secrets that
could threaten the lives of a lot of folks in town.
In the 3rd installment of her Domestic Diva Mystery series,
THE DIVA PAINTS THE TOWN, author Krista Davis once again
delights her readers with the antics of Sophie, her
sidekick Nina, and her nemesis Natasha. Lively, full of
humor as well as intrigue, Davis has crafted a charming
cozy mystery with a unique home decorating theme that fans
of the genre will adore. Included are decorating and
entertaining tips, as well as a few luscious recipes for
dishes mentioned in the book.
Color this Domestic Diva puzzled-from the national
bestselling author.
When Sophie's neighbor-a
reclusive professor-dies, his final wish is for the Domestic
Diva to throw a dinner party in his honor, and he's planned
everything down to the letter. But what no one planned for
is the corpse of a student that Sophie finds in his house.
