Author

Krista Davis’ long-running Domestic Diva series is always a treat. Sophie Winston, a creative caterer in charming Old Town Alexandria, Virginia, has been sleuthing for fourteen books, and the latest, The Diva Says Cheesecake is just as fresh and fun as the first. Davis’ witty and warm-hearted sleuth is surrounded by a cast of fun characters that bring the social setting to life. The Diva has done it all from high tea and Thanksgiving dinners, weddings, and celebrity cooking shows, and all of Davis’ recipes are to die for.

From Meri's list on culinary cozy mysteries with murder on the menu.

Davis is particularly good at using food to show connections between people and bring the surrounding community to life. Sophie Winston, the series' main character, runs an event business in Old Town Alexandria. She’s nosy and loving and a consummate entertainer, who regularly whips up appetizing meals and snacks for unexpected visitors. When I read one of the books in the series, including Cheesecake, I yearn to be part of Sophie’s inner circle, and certainly to have her in my corner if I run into murderous trouble.

From Lucy's list on mysteries that will make you hungry.

I thought it would be fun to spin off a cookbook with real, practical recipes so that readers could enjoy the same foods as my wacky cast did on their adventures. There's something for everyone, as the cookbook runs the gamut. You'll find mouth-watering treats such as hearty meat pies, 'coal' cookies, Victorian-era 'hot dogs', bread and butter pickles, and home-spun cotton…
