  New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis returns with a delicious new Domestic Diva Mystery set in Alexandria, Virginia's charming Old Town neighborhood, and featuring entertaining guru Sophie Winston. 
   
   
   
  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.

  An election is coming and the majority of American voters don’t want either party’s candidate. A popular third-party challenger is gaining on them. He's a highly decorated, universally admired former commander of all U.S. special operations forces and has an earned Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago. The Deep State is in a panic. It arranges for the general and his wife to be kidnapped and assassinated just as he begins his campaign.  
  Only a few specially trained, unique individuals are capable of rescuing the third-party candidate in time. But their leader, Brendan Whelan, and his wife are focusing on rebuilding their damaged marriage. The Deep State seizes and confines Whelan in a secret supermax federal prison built especially for the Deep State’s political prisoners. If anyone can free Whelan, it’s his half-dozen colleagues who also have prices on their heads and are being pursued by the CIA, FBI, NSA, and other alphabet agencies of the U.S. government. 
   Can they free their leader, find the presidential candidate, and rescue him in time for him to campaign successfully against the two major party candidates?

  "With spring’s arrival in Goosebush, Lilly and the Beautification Committee turn their eyes to new projects. A cleanup of the historic Goosebush Cemetery may be in order after Lilly and Delia find the plots there sorely neglected and inexplicably rearranged. Lilly soon discovers that Whitney Dunne-Bradford snapped up custodianship of the graveyard once she inherited Bradford Funeral Homes. But before Lilly can get to the bottom of the tombstone tampering, she stumbles upon Whitney’s body at the Jayne family mausoleum. Although it at first appears Whitney died by suicide, Lilly has doubts, and apparently, so does Chief of Police Bash Haywood, who quickly opens a murder investigation. Plenty of folks in town had bones to pick with Whitney, including her stepdaughter, Sasha, and funeral-home employee Dewey Marsh—all three recently charged with illegal business practices. But when the homicide inquiry suddenly targets an old friend, Lilly and the Garden Squad must rally to exhume the truth before the real killer buries it forever."
