MULTIMILLION-COPY MYSTERY SERIES–

AS GOLDY SOLVES HER FIRST MURDER!

Diane Mott Davidson’s winning recipe of first-class suspense and five-star fare has won her and caterer Goldy critical raves and a regular place on major bestseller lists across the country. In Goldy’s tantalizing debut, she serves up a savory dish of secrets, suspicions, and murder....

Catering a wake is not Goldy’s idea of fun. Yet the Colorado caterer throws herself into preparing a savory feast including Poached Salmon and Strawberry Shortcake Buffet designed to soothe forty mourners. And her culinary efforts seem to be exactly what the doctor ordered...until her ex-father-in-law gynecologist Fritz Korman is struck down and Goldy is accused of adding poison to the menu. Now, with the Department of Health impounding her leftovers, her ex-husband proclaiming her guilt, and her business about to be shut down, Goldy knows she can’t wait for the police to serve up the answers. She’ll soon uncover more than one family skeleton and a veritable stew of unpalatable secrets–the kind that could make Goldy the main course in an unsavory killer’s next murder!

What readers say

A Colorado caterer becomes a suspect when a guest is poisoned at a funeral reception she catered, and readers like the small-town setting, the layered mystery, her son Arch and the recipes. Critics find Goldy nosy and careless in her sleuthing, Detective Schulz too informal, and some dated remarks and a light treatment of serious topics jarring. Reviews have stayed mixed, though many readers continue for the series' food and characters.

Best for: Readers who enjoy vintage culinary cozies and don't mind a prickly heroine.
