The Diva Goes Overboard - Paperback

by Krista Davis (Author)

For once, event planner Sophie Winston finds herself a guest at a lavish engagement party, but things go horrifyingly awry when the groom-to-be is fatally poisoned . . . In Old Town Alexandria s unlikeliest match, Natasha Smith s free-spirited mother, Wanda, is engaged to 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 Orson s daughter and rising 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.
