Order of Krista Davis Books

If Agatha Christie and Martha Stewart had a literary lovechild, it might just be Krista Davis. A master of cozy mysteries who makes murder seem oddly…adorable, Krista has built a charmingly deadly empire of whodunits where cupcakes and corpses share the same page. Born in the United States, Davis has kept her personal details as tightly wrapped as a fresh batch of bakery secrets—meaning her exact date of birth remains a delightful mystery in itself. Still, fans know this much: she’s alive, very much kicking, and writing with a sharp pen dipped in sugar and spice.

A graduate of the University of Tennessee, Krista Davis didn’t begin her career chasing clues or serving up fictional poison. She started out like many of us—juggling jobs, responsibilities, and a deep love of storytelling. Before launching into full-time fiction, she worked in various fields, from real estate to design, while quietly plotting murders in her imagination (the literary kind, of course). Her Southern charm and knack for detail seep into every line, creating characters you want to befriend… or at least invite to brunch, assuming they don’t bring along a dead body or two.

Krista is best known for her wildly popular Domestic Diva Mysteries, where amateur sleuth Sophie Winston navigates deliciously tangled mysteries with a side of recipes and household tips. If you’ve ever wanted a mystery series that makes you hungry while solving crimes, this is your new addiction. But that’s just the beginning. She also created the Paws & Claws Mysteries, set in a pet-friendly town where cats and dogs might know more than they let on—and possibly more than the humans. And as if two hit series weren’t enough, Davis expanded her literary legacy with Pen & Ink Mysteries, delighting fans with adult coloring books woven into plots involving murder, mischief, and mayhem.

What makes Davis stand out isn’t just the intricate plotting or her engaging characters—it’s the tone. Her stories are warm, welcoming, and gently suspenseful. There’s no need for gore when your weapon of choice is charm laced with a bit of arsenic wit. Each book wraps readers in a cozy blanket before pulling it off for a gasp-worthy reveal.

And while Krista Davis doesn’t often step into the spotlight, her words speak volumes. She resides in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, a setting not unlike the cozy towns she conjures on the page. Between writing and caring for her beloved pets (who sometimes sneak into her stories), she continues to craft novels that are as comforting as they are compelling.

In a world overloaded with gritty crime fiction and bleak thrillers, Krista Davis proves that mystery doesn’t have to be bloody to be brilliant. She’s the quiet storm behind the smile, the woman who murders with grace—and always serves justice warm, with a side of lemon glaze.

Want to discover how a missing centerpiece leads to a murder confession? Or why a pampered cat is the only one who knows whodunit? Krista Davis is your new obsession. Just don’t read her books before bed—unless you're okay with dreaming of perfectly folded napkins... and perfectly plotted crime.
