- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I had forgotten how much I laugh at the antics of Natasha when she is trying to seem so perfect to everyone but can't pull it off! The bakery rivalry combined with the dogs all around made this installment fun and light-hearted.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The mystery's a mess, but I enjoy the characters, and the descriptions of food. I do wonder how much Sophie actually works at a job.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The setting of this story is a cupcake event to benefit pet rescue organizations, so there was a lot of running around the main square of Old Town and a larger than usual cast of characters who hadn't appeared in earlier books. This made it pretty confused at times.The cupcake theme didn't catch my interest like the wedding in Diva Takes the Cake or the vampire/haunted house theme in Diva Haunts the House. Not one of the stronger entries in this series, but it was okay.Also borrowed The Diva Wraps It Up, which I'm going to read next.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm a fan of this series, but this one just didn't do it for me and I can't say why. Well, I can say waaayyy too much internal dialogue was going on - I was skipping all sorts of paragraphs. But even so, something was just missing from this one.
Plot line was decent, although a bit all over the place. Didn't guess the murderer, but I don't think I was trying either. I just kept thinking "must get through this book".
Well, fingers crossed for the next one. - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the early chapters of this book. But the quality was a flash in the pan. There wasn't enough plot ongoing to sustain any type of enthusiasm or momentous curiosity. Nothing worked in this story. Sophie felt like someone who didn't really have any friends. Nina and Humphrey were nobodies here. Sophie's so called boyfriend, Alex, was a peripheral ghostly intruder in the grand scheme of things. I really missed the many members of Sophie's family. Her sister and parents and niece. Even more so a crime was the lack of emphasis on goodies and eatables and more focus on dogs. For some reason Krista Davis has a huge crush on them, it seems. She even has a book with the new series, "claws and paws". The author looks to have gone senile, I'm afraid. This series has gone to the dogs, figuratively and literally. I think I'll pass her future books. Not even the Agatha Christie tribute could save this stinker. Okay, so some readers may find the recipes at the end useful, but that's not why I read books for. I'm very disappointed.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5When I read a multi book series such as this (there's 8 or 9 now), sometimes it's hard to like them all. Although I read and felt a lot of the glimmers of spunk and wisdom from Sophie that I've grown to like, the overall story was lacking. There just seemed to be an awful lot of characters running around. And new characters. And characters we may or may not have been able to guess until now that maybe they were related. And although the rescue animal angle was interesting, I think Sophie needs to head back to her roots.
