The Diva Runs Out of Thyme

A Domestic Diva Mystery, Book 1

By: Krista Davis

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

Few can compete with the Natasha Smith when it comes to entertaining, but her childhood rival, Sophie Winston, certainly tries. While Natasha is known for her intricate centerpieces and painstakingly prepared gourmet meals, Sophie likes to keep things simple...real simple.

Natasha may have stolen the spotlight - and Sophie's husband - but Sophie is determined to take home the prize at the Stupendous Stuffing Shakedown. She just needs the right ingredients... However, Sophie's search for the perfect turkey takes a basting when she stumbles across a corpse. And when the police find her name and photo inside the victim's car, they think she has some explaining to do. Sophie will have to set her trussing aside to solve the murder - or she'll be serving up prison grub - and that definitely wouldn't be a good thing.

engaging page turner

This was my first reading this author. It was a good read. Kept me entertained. Unpredictable ending.

Cozy read

Love this series, I’ve listen to it several times. It’s a nice cozy read with good characters solid plot and great narrator.

Who Dunit

I enjoyed the characterss and the humorous family interactions. The story was fun and had some twists and turns. I liked the way recipes and "advice" was sprinkled throughout. I am looking forward to listening to the rest of the series.

Love Sophie and Nina together

Loved it. This is the 3rd time I have replayed the Series (so far) I am smitten with the whole group.

The Diva Runs out of Thyme

I had read another book in the series and really enjoyed it before listening to the audible book. At first I thought it wouldn't be good because the narrator's voice for the southern characters were so over the top. But once I got past it, the book started flowing and I got really really interested in it, and found the book enjoyable. I still didn't like the southern voice but thankfully was able to get past that.
