    About this audiobook

    Determined not to be a garden-variety diva, Sophie Winston's neighbor Natasha cultivates a plan to shine on television-using Sophie's backyard. As the cast and crew of the makeover show Tear It Up with Troy bulldoze through her backyard-and vacation-Sophie retreats to her perennial boyfriend Wolf's to replace a dead rose bush. But her tender deed goes awry when she digs up a purse belonging to Wolf's missing wife.

    As speculations sprout, Wolf bolts, and then a body crops up in a garden. Is Wolf's thorny past raising a dead head? This is one case the domestic diva can't let wither on the vine.

      Sophie finally has some down time between jobs, but her plans awry when Natasha, without Sophie's knowledge or approval, decides that Sophie needs a backyard renovation and enlists a TV crew to tear up her yard and build a much needed garage.To stay out of the way of the construction, Sophie tries to surprise her boyfriend, Wolf, with a new rosebush in his yard to replace the one that died. However, while digging away, she uncovers more than what she expects and causes problems that need to be addressed.At the same time Sophie is also drawn into a problem with one of her family clients. How it all weaves together kept this reader engaged so that I couldn't put it down.
    • 5/5
      Great book love the pace and the story going to listen to more
    • 5/5
      I truly enjoyed this book! I really like the the way Ms. Davis kept me guessing about Wolf’s wife ❤️ superb!!!
    • 5/5
      Loved it! Best of the series so far. Even though I could see the twist at the end coming, I didn't have all the details right. I love being surprised!
    • 3/5
      The mystery was pretty convoluted. I didn't feel all the stories were integrated in a holistic way.
    • 4/5
      Well, I suppose if you read this series, you had to see this plot line coming. The mystery about Wolf's wife's disappearance is the focal point of this book, along with the strange goings-on in one local family. Lots of upheaval for Sophie in this book.

      I enjoyed this book quite a bit. The characters are always fun, always interesting. Personally, I'd smack Natasha into next week if I were Sophie, but I guess every cozy has to have a 'nemesis' these days. I really look forward to seeing the next book and reading about the 'aftermath' of all that happened in this book.
    • 3/5
      Whoever said that the more things change the more they look alike clearly hasn't read this book. It's a major departure from the usual solid storytelling the author served. There are less people to keep track of. I didn't know what score to give this book. It could be a one, two or three stars. The reading experience was shambolic as I suffered from reader's burnout. On the plus side, the bittersweet conclusion appealed to my nature. The only predictable thing was the overuse, again, of more than one attempting killer, which Krista Davis uses all the time to complicate her plot. That is all.
    • 3/5
      An easy light read. Recipes included and gardening tips. One in a series of Domestic Diva mysteries.? First one I have read. Would try another at some point.
    • 3/5
      Sophie finds a purse belonging to Wolf's missing ex-wife in his backyard. He has to go on leave from his police job. I'm finding it difficult to really summarize this book without giving away too much of the plot so I'll just give a few reactions to it. This is the first book I've read in this series although it is the sixth for me. I found myself struggling to figure out the relationships between the characters. Sometimes I found it difficult to even figure out who someone was or what their occupation was. I have a feeling this is a series that should be read in order. Each chapter was introduced by a snippet of a gardening advice column, alternating between Sophie's and Natasha's advice which were sometimes polar opposites. I'm not really sure if this series works for me. I probably need to go back and begin with the first in the series to determine that. The solution to the mystery wasn't a surprise. There were definite pointers to it from early in the book. I'm not in a hurry to go back and read the first in the series although I haven't ruled it out.
    • 3/5
      There was a lot going in Diva Digs up the Dirt, the sixth domestic diva mystery. One storyline, involving a cable tv reality show, seems to be in place as a vehicle for Natasha, Sophie's rival in the world of domesticity. However, the main storyline and mystery, which involve Sophie and her friend Nina in another crime, was much more fulfilling. Roscoe Greene and his eccentric family add a great deal of life to this story and I liked how everything came together as the book neared the end, with the seemingly disparate storylines.
