Description
In the latest Domestic Diva mystery from New York Times bestselling author, Krista Davis, entertaining maven Sophie Winston must cut to the core of another murder investigation when members of an international tour group begin dropping like flies all over Old Town, Virginia . . .
With Old Town's DIY Home Decorating Festival in full swing, Sophie's swamped, juggling a bumper crop of artisans, antique dealers, and decorators for the busy street fair. Still, when her best friend Nina suddenly needs a ride from the airport, Sophie is happy to help . . . until she sees Nina disembarking in a state of disarray. It's obvious the trip to Portugal soured somewhere along the way. But after one of Nina's traveling companions turns up murdered the following day, Sophie knows something is truly rotten . . .
Though the crime scene is staged to look like an accident, Sophie isn't fooled and peels off to conduct her own investigation. Her only clue is a strange image the victim scratched into the soil before dying. Could it point to a cryptic killer in Old Town? A bitter travel adversary? Or a cursed artifact smuggled back from the trip? As the mystery grows, so does the body count, and if Sophie doesn't pluck the murderer soon, her best friend may be the next to fall . . .
Includes delicious recipes and fabulous DIY decorating tips!

The DIY Festival Sophie Winston's been asked to plan for Alexandria's Old Town goes off the rails when someone starts killing off her neighbors. It would be hard to imagine a more inoffensive victim than Lark Bickford, but the widowed socialite takes a fatal tumble that looks very suspicious only a day after returning from a guided tour of Portugal. Her family members are instantly scandalized--not that she may have been murdered (her body has barely cooled when they start selling off her period furniture and pricey china), but that her will includes a spendthrift trust that will keep her grown children, Bennett and Paisley, and Paisley's husband, self-styled advice guru Frank Eames, from liquidating the rest of her assets any time soon. Even more dismaying is the news that the trustee is Humphrey Brown, the secret lover whom a neighbor spotted leaving her house shortly before her corpse was discovered. The family's outrage is soon complicated by the remarkably similar death of Dulci Chapman, art therapist-turned-food blogger, who'd taken the same guided tour as Lark. So had assistant medical examiner Dr. Peter Chryssos, Sophie's friend Nina Reid Norwood, and Sophie's ex-husband, Mars Winston. Wonder how safe they are? In between complimenting most of the DIY exhibitors and fielding Greer Shacklesworth's endless complaints, the unflappable Sophie asks everyone who'll listen what the design Lark scrawled as she was dying might have meant. Lots of recipes, household tips, quaint locals, and sometimes sharp squabbles--but the big story here is bling.COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
