The second book of the Domestic Diva series picks up pretty much where it left off in the first book. Sophie Winston's sister, Hannah, is getting married to a man that Sophie just isn't sure is an honest person. When his ex-wife comes to town and is found murdered in Natasha's back yard, Sophie is even more certain that the groom is shady. As family (invited or not) begin to show up for the event that is sometimes on and sometimes off, Sophie must somehow keep everything going all the while trying to figure out how to bring the wedding to a halt.

Although this book wasn't quite as good as the first, I thought it was fine. I did find Natasha's ability to take over and change plans and decorations on which Sophie worked hard to be irritating in the sense that Sophie never said much, and no one ever seemed to notice or care what was being done by Natasha to Sophie. I realize that Sophie was wanting to keep the peace for her sister's sake, but there comes a point that enough is enough. Her mother's attempts at matchmaking have quickly become old, too. However, those are just minor irritants along with a couple of other items that I looked past.

Now that the wedding theme that ended the first book and moved through this one is complete, it will be interesting to see what direction the next book takes.
