Synopsis

The New York Times bestselling series that inspired the Hallmark Mystery Curious Caterer Original Movies

“A surprisingly tart and savory reading experience.”—The Washington Post Book World

When caterer Goldy Schulz is offered a temporary stint hosting a cooking show for PBS, she jumps at the chance. After all, she could use the money—not to mention the great exposure. Plus taping the shows at Colorado’s posh Killdeer Ski Resort will be fun. A little cooking, a little chitchat. What could go wrong?

The answer: everything! When Goldy has to do one of her shows live for a PBS telethon, the broadcast is riddled with culinary catastrophes—from the Chesapeake Crab Cakes right down to the Ice-Capped Gingersnaps. But the deadliest dish of all comes after the cameras go off—and a baffling accident claims a life.
 
Then a series of suspicious mishaps places Goldy’s own life in jeopardy, and she knows she’d better whip up her own crime-solving recipe, and fast—before a deadly dash of danger ends her cooking career once and for all. . . .
 
Includes recipes!

This series has grown, and I like the changes it’s making. Not only has Goldie and her family grown and changed, she has ‘matured’ too. She doesn’t do (as many) stupid things as she used to (I equate it to the girl that goes by herself down in to the dark basement in a horror movie.). I think Tom ha......more

Goodreads review by Lawrence on August 25, 2022

For some reason, I absolutely love this series of middle-brow mysteries. I have to explore that. I will list my reasons for my pleasure. The first has to do with food. The heroine of the books is a caterer in a high end community in Colorado. Her financial concerns and her need to drum up business ar......more

Goodreads review by Kailea on January 30, 2024

Reading this book made me want food. It made me want a lot of food. I'm looking forward to trying some of the recipes. It took me a while to get into the book. I hated how Tom calls Goldy "Miss G" and she, herself, can be quite annoying in how she treats people. The mystery was written well enough th......more
