The New York Times bestselling author of The Diva Steals a Chocolate Kiss serves up a new mystery steeped in murder...
 
When The Parlour opens up in town, domestic diva Sophie Winston finally has a place to satisfy her cravings for all things tea and crumpet related. And the shop serves as the perfect place for the ladies of the town to gather and gossip, especially since it’s conveniently located right across the street from the new antique store run by the handsome and charming Robert Johnson.
 
But speculation around Robert really boils over when he’s found dead—a victim of poisoning after attending a literacy fundraiser at The Parlour the night before. What Sophie learns about the man leaves a bitter taste in her mouth, and she’ll have to strain out a killer from a strange brew of suspects...

Includes delicious recipes and entertaining tips!

New York Times Bestselling author Krista Davis grew up devouring Nancy Drew, the Hardy Boys, and Agatha Christie and still loves a good mystery. Krista writes three mystery series.

The Domestic Diva Mysteries are set in Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia. Sophie Winston loves to entertain her friends but she keeps things simple. When it comes to murder, though, this domestic diva knows how to dig up dirt. Recipes and entertaining tips included!

The Paws & Claws Mysteries take place on Wagtail Mountain, Virginia, the premier vacation destination for people who want to travel with their pets. Holly Miller and her German Oma run the family inn in Wagtail, which caters to dogs and cats. Holly's Jack Russell Terrier, Trixie, and her long-haired calico kitty, Twinkletoes, use their superior noses to sniff out trouble.

In the Pen & Ink series, protagonist Florrie Fox runs a bookstore in Georgetown, Washington, DC by day and is an adult coloring book artist by night. The front and back covers of the Pen & Ink books can be colored!

Like her domestic diva, Sophie Winston, Krista enjoys cooking (okay, eating!) and entertaining, but she'd just as soon leave the cleaning to someone else. She lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia with an assortment of cats and dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Diva wins again.....
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2016

Two new stores have opened in Old Town Alexandria. The residents appear to be delighted by the opening of a tea parlor as well a new antique store. Sophie quickly realizes that the popularity of the antiques store is due to its owner, the handsome and mysterious Robert Johnson.

Unfortunately for Sophie, she finds Robert gravely ill one morning. He gathers enough strength to say his final word to her. Could this word be a clue to a mystery in the past? Or it a simple utterance by a dying man for comfort? Sophie herself is unsure until she finds dying person who says the same final word to her. Could these deaths be linked to other strange occurrences in Old Town? Sophie and her friends must try to find the connection before anyone else gets hurt.

I felt this was a fantastic addition to the series. A major change was made and we will see how this affects Sophie in the future. I'm still not feeling the love for Sophie's current beau, Alex, but that is because I'm secretly hoping she will start seeing Bernie as a great catch!! Overall the only thing that disappoints me is that I have to wait an entire year for the next release.

5.0 out of 5 stars A WONDERFUL WHO DONE IT
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2016

This really has to be one of my favorite cozy mystery series and this book is no exception. Set in Old Town Alexandria Verginia, the description of the town is always a pleasure to read about. In addition, the characters seem like family and that you are right there along with them during their adventures. This time it is the start of fall. There is a tea room that is the center of the story and then we slowly get introduced to the myriad characters the comprise the center of the mystery including a murder (or two). Part old history of past relationships and nefarious events and of course new events that are involving Sophie and her detective skills as well as her friends and neighbors. Even the dogs get some share of the story and they are worked in so cleverly that it just seems so natural. There are so many twists and turns in this story that the reader is guessing right up to the end just who killed who and why. This is a fun story and sure to please any mystery fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars I gave it 4 stars only because I like Sophie so much
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2017

I've bought and read (so I own) this whole series. I gave it 4 stars only because I like Sophie so much. I love Krista Davis's descriptions of all things comfy, welcoming, AND delicious, at Sophie's house. I've actually read the whole series twice. But the fact that she continues to put up with the her supposed best friend Natasha just gets to be too much. You do kind of get the idea that Natasha knows the truth. She knows that Sophie is a wonderful cook and can do absolutely anything better than Natasha but a true best friend would NOT constantly and consistently put her friend down. And almost always when other people are around. And why and how did Sophie's ex husband get involved WITH Natasha? They don't even seem to like each other. And Mars, short for Marshall, is always back over to Sophie's house to eat, as well as get away from Natasha. This all goes on for 10 books, mind you. But because of all the amazing food porn, I love to read the stories. So if you like to read about food and murder and very messed up relationships, these books are for YOU. And food nuts like me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Diva Series Winner!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2016

This is my favorite cozy series. This is the tenth in the Diva series, and each one is better than the last. The author does an amazing job of creating a charming atmosphere through out the entire book – the characters, the small town, the description of the food, and the pets. I love visiting Old Town with each new book in the series. While I’m much more a Sophie than a Natasha, I love them both equally! Throw in the rest of the cast of characters – Mars, Bernie and Francie, and you have another great read, with plenty of twists.

The Parlour, a teashop, opens in town and is the perfect backdrop for all types of activities - meeting friends, fundraisers, and murder.

I hate reading reviews that give away pieces of the plot, so I never do that. I would always suggest reading a series in order, but this could be a stand along. Just like every Krista Davis book, this is a page-turner from the start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another action packed romp from Krista Davis!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2016

Another great tale from Krista Davis, I love reading the Diva mysteries because it's like sitting down to coffee or tea with a bunch of old friends. I really love all the characters in these books and character is really the right word for most of these folks!! This mystery involves a new tea shop and an antique store owner who are new to town but have connections to folks already there. Of course the whole gang is involved and as much as Sophie would like to stay out of it, there are too many people she cares about already involved so we know she will get dragged in. This is one of the most elaborate mysteries in the diva books and there are so many twists and turns it is very hard to figure it all out, that is part of the fun. Please keep them coming!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Mystery
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2016

I have always enjoyed the Diva series, but The Diva Serves High Tea is probably my favorite one in the series. I had become a little annoyed with Sophie in the previous outings. She was so forgiving of her ex Mars and I wanted her to be a bit meaner. LOL

But, in this outing it is obvious she has moved on and even though friends with Mars she is not pining for him, he has just become part of the neighborhood family she has put together.

Plus this Diva book has a really nifty mystery that had me guessing and second guessing who the villain was. This was one of the most complicated plots, with twists and turns that kept me turning the page and the ending had several surprises as to who did what; but all wrapped up nicely by this talented author.

This series always has a great mystery, interesting characters, and it’s all set in what must be picturesque Old Town in Virginia, where you can walk almost anywhere (apparently). The main character’s frenemy has the best put-downs and you’ll just laugh ... and laugh.

Ein bisschen verwirrend sind die vielen Angriffe auf Freunde und Bekannte der Erzählerin schon und die Erklärungen dazu nicht immer ganz überzeugend, trotzdem ist es ein lesenswertes Buch. Die Hauptdarstellerin ist sympathisch, ihre Freundin/Feindin Natascha herrlich überzeichnet. Ein Buch, das Spaß macht und durchaus lesenswert ist.
