The Diva Goes Overboard
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
In Old Town Alexandria's unlikeliest match, Natasha Smith's free-spirited mother, Wanda, is engaged to notoriously pompous antiques dealer, Orson Chatsworth—leaving Natasha to plan the entire wedding, beginning with an elaborate engagement party. For the extravagant affair, Natasha splurges on trendy food boards created by rising social media star, Stella St. James. The sumptuous boards go way beyond basic cheese and crackers, as Stella dazzles guests with picture-worthy butter boards, dessert boards, and even doughnut boards. Just as Natasha planned, the food is to die for—until someone actually does.
When the groom collapses, it seems as if a heart attack is to blame. Then guests discover Orson was poisoned, and suddenly Stella's bespoke boards look a lot less appealing. But with an event this big, the spread of suspects is sure to be impressive. Could Orson's killer be a jilted ex-lover? A money hungry relative? A bitter former business partner? When even Sophie is not above suspicion, she knows it's time to get on board and scrape together an investigation of her own . . . before murder becomes the town's next trend.
Includes delicious recipes, fabulous decorating tips, and easy entertaining hacks!

April 1, 2024
A wedding curtailed by the groom's death spurs further study by the unexpected new owner of his Alexandria, Virginia, antique store. Wedding bells are ringing for Wanda Smith--the mother of domestic diva Sophie Winston's longtime frenemy, Natasha--and her unlikely beau, Orson Chatsworth. While Sophie, an accomplished event planner, is focused on the short timeline until the nuptials, Natasha takes it personally that her mother will have been married twice before she's found even a single husband. As an older couple, Wanda and Orson are determined to have things squared away as soon as possible, so Natasha's putting pressure on Sophie to plan a party. As luck would have it, Orson's daughter, Stella Chatsworth St. James, runs a charcuterie board business, designing elaborate thematic boards that would be a perfect fit for a catered affair. (Corresponding tips from Sophie and Natasha preface each chapter.) No sooner are all the residents of Alexandria's Old Town neighborhood congratulating the happy couple, though, than Orson chokes and keels over in the middle of the reception. In his last breath, he begs Sophie to "Tell Stella...," but that's as far as he gets. The mystery is compounded when the family learns that Orson left his antiques boutique to Sophie. Since she and Orson were only acquaintances, she's certain there must be some deeper logic at play, but the more she looks into Orson's past, the more confused she gets, and her investigation seems to be going nowhere. When a police report reveals that Orson's been poisoned, Sophie's all the more determined to find the culprit, and the truth. This unevenly paced mystery takes a while to heat up.COPYRIGHT(2024) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

After seeing Orson Chatsworth drop dead at his own engagement party, event planner Sophie Winston is stunned to discover Chatsworth has left her his profitable antiques store, much to the displeasure of his ex-wife and daughter. Sophie soon learns Chatsworth anticipated his murder, and knowing her reputation as a sleuth, leaves her a list of suspects to investigate. Along with friends Nina, Mars, and Bernie, Sophie interviews these suspects, adding a few of her own. A second murder and an attack complicate the case, but Sophie perseveres. Chapters open with letters and replies from Sophie's and flamboyant rival Natasha's advice columns, and the story concludes with an appendix of delicious-sounding recipes. Framed with details of entertaining and food, especially charcuterie and other types of food boards, this cozy. with its lovingly described setting, multiple plot twists, and well-drawn, sympathetic characters, will appeal to foodies who also enjoy Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swensen baking mysteries featuring a close-knit group of friends working together to solve crimes.COPYRIGHT(2024) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
