What readers say
One of the original culinary mystery series, following Colorado caterer Goldy, whose jobs keep turning up bodies, with recipes in every book and her son Arch a reader favorite. Fans enjoy the small-town mountain setting, food detail and twisty plots, and the series inspired Hallmark movies. Common criticisms are a pushy, sometimes unsympathetic heroine, a detective love interest some find unprofessional, a slow middle in some books and dated attitudes in the early titles.
Best for: Readers who want classic culinary mysteries with recipes and a long series to follow.
