Thoughts: This is the fifteenth book in the Domestic Diva series. While I haven’t read all of them, this one does stand up to the ones I have read. In this one, Sophie Winston is investigating the death of Tate, owner of Blackwell’s Tavern. There are a lot of suspects, including Sophie’s good friend Bernie. There are also mysterious people (tall, dark woman with big eyes) who Sophie doesn’t trust. But she gets a little too close to things as she gets threatened, attacked, and trapped. And yet, she keeps investigating. There are also a few glitches (like introducing Wolf several times) but those were minor.

All in all, this was a fun book, a decent mystery with a satisfying ending. There were a lot of cheesecake references so be prepared to have cravings and I loved the “notes” at the beginning of each chapter. Great tips!

Recommendation: If you’ve been reading the Diva series, continue with this one. You won’t be disappointed and will get some great recipes and tips in the process.
