A caterer's nightmare...
Caterer Goldy Schulz is convinced things couldn't get worse. An unscrupulous rival is driving her out of business. An incompetent contractor has left her precious kitchen in shambles. And she has just agreed to cater a fashion shoot at a nineteenth-century mountain cabin with her mentor and old friend, French chef André Hibbard.
A dash of cold-blooded murder...
Together Goldy and André struggle in a hopelessly outdated kitchen to cater to a vacuous crowd of beautiful people whose personal dramas climax when a camera is pitched through a window...into the buffet. Then Goldy's contractor is found hanging in the house of one of her best friends. A second murder follows and Goldy must somehow solve a mystery and prepare for a society soirée that could make--or break--her career.
A recipe for disaster...
It's a mystery that involves the dead contractor's unwholesome past, a food saboteur, the theft of four historical cookbooks, and an overzealous D.A. who has suspended Goldy's detective husband, Tom, from the force. What Goldy discovers is the perfect recipe for murder. And she may be dessert! (show less)

I actually liked this one better than many of her other stories. It wasn't clear from the beginning who the murderer is. And Goldy finally seemed to know her place as a caterer rather than a detective - she didn't put herself into obviously dangerous situations, which I really appreciated. I also like how the whole family was involved in solving the mystery (not necessarily the murders). This is probably my favorite of the series (so far). (show less)

this has been my least favorite so far. The book dragged on and on, and Marla was not in it very much. I had a hard time getting through the book. Hopefully the next ones in the series will be better, as were the first 7 books. (show less)
A little more info on Goldy's past, her son starts "dating," and she has to work with a kitchen under destruction. What's not to like??

This series starring the accessible caterer Goldy, with recipes to go with each installment, and her abusive ex-husband "the Jerk", her son, his friend, their dog, and ultimately her new husband is a good series, each one enjoyable, no noticable deterioration over time, and the emphasis on food isn't perfect but it is very good
