Celebrated for her unique blend of first-class suspense and five-star fare, Diane Mott Davidson has won scores of fans and earned a place on major bestseller lists across the country. Now she dishes up another dangerously tasty treat of murder and mystery.
For Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz, accepting a series of bookings at Hyde Castle is like a dream come true. Itâs not every day that she gets to cook authentic Elizabethan fareâespecially at a real castle. Goldy is determined that everything will go rightâwhich is why, she figures later, everything went terribly wrong.
It begins when a shotgun blast shatters her window. Then Goldy discovers a body lying in a nearby creek. And when shots ring out for the second time that day, someone Goldy loves is in the line of fire.
Suddenly the last thing Goldy wants to think about is Shakespeareâs Steak Pie, 911 Chocolate Emergency Cookies, or Damson-in-Distress Plum Tart. Could one of her husband Tomâs police investigations have triggered a murder? Or was her violent, recently-paroled ex responsible?
With death peering around every corner, Goldy needs to cook up some crime-solving solutionsâbefore the only dish thatâs left on her menu is murderâŠ
