The Diva Takes the Cake by Krista Davis
1.0
1.5*
Book two in the Domestic Diva series has event planner Sophie Wilson in charge of her sister, Hannah’s, wedding. Of course rival diva Natasha has to insert herself into the event, trashing Sophie’s decorations and color scheme for a “more modern” style. But when the groom’s ex-wife is found hanging in the brand new garden pergola, it seems that the wedding may not happen at all.
I kind of like the rivalry between Sophie and Natasha, including the competing advice given at the beginning of each chapter. But I read mysteries – even cozy mysteries – for the murder plot. And this one is just plain ridiculous. So many things made no sense whatsoever. (Why would a murderer bury a necklace rather than just pocket it?)
Oh well, it satisfied several challenges and it was a fast read.
