Synopsis

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. It’s not every day that she gets to cook authentic Elizabethan fare—especially at a real castle that was brought over from England and reassembled stone by stone in Aspen Meadow. Goldy is determined that everything will go right—which 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 Shakespeare’s Steak Pie, 911 Chocolate Emergency Cookies, or Damson-in-Distress Plum Tart. Could one of her husband Tom’s 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 solutions—before the only dish that’s left on her menu ismurder.

“A rich feast.”—Publishers Weekly

Goodreads review by James on March 18, 2020

Book Review 4 out of 5 stars to Sticks & Scones, the 10th book in the "Goldy Bear Schultz Culinary" cozy mystery series, written in 2001 by Diane Mott Davidson.

I thought this would be more entertaining than it was. The adolescent son was a complete jerk (as a mom I'd have thrashed him a good one the first time he mouthed off to me). The caterer appeared ditzy and disorganized and relied on too many others to do her job - the young friend Julian, the suppli......more

Goodreads review by Heather on August 27, 2012

Creative and fun. That's what I thought this book would entail when I read the title and scanned through the pages - recipes were inserted throughout. Unique, huh? It definitely was creative. The main character is a caterer so food was a big theme. A little too big, though. The lengthy descriptions......more

Goodreads review by Chris on October 16, 2020

This was an enjoyable diversion. Its been quite some time since I visited Goldy & her catering business. There were almost too many threads in this story and wasn't sure how it will all come together. In one AM somewhat shot out the window in Goldy's house, she discovered a body near the venue she w......more

Goodreads review by Dez on February 13, 2018

This is my 7th foray into the Goldy Bear series (although not in order), and I just can't anymore. Goldy, for all her investigating and putting herself into dangerous situations, is just a weak character. Arch is an obnoxious little twit. I mean, his father is just out of jail for assault, his mothe......more
