While Sophie is at the grocery store stocking up on her Thanksgiving dinner items, she is approached by a man in the parking lot trying to give away a purebreed kitten.  On the way into the store Sophie brushes him off but while shopping reconsiders and decides she will take the kitten.  When she leaves the store she finds the man dead in the dumpster behind the store, the police find Sophie's name and photograph on the front seat of his truck, and Sophie finds herself at the top of the suspect list.

The next day at the stuffing contest Sophie stumbles across another dead body.  This is the second dead body she's found in as many days.  Through a confluence of bizarre events she ends up entertaining her ex-husband, his girlfriend, and her ex-in-laws on Thanksgiving, each of whom seems to have something to hide.  Sophie must sift through her suspicions to get to the bottom of this mayhem before any more dead bodies show up.

The Diva Runs Out of Thyme is an entertaining mystery novel with charming characters.  The plot of the mystery is well drawn out and I was surprised to discover "who done it".  Krista Davis is an excellent mystery author and I look forward to reading more of her work.
