Mystery Culinary

Aspen Meadow caterer Goldy Schulz has her hands full for the summer catering to every unreasonable whim of bridezilla Billie Attenborough. She understands why Billie's mother is willing to pay for every change and addition to the catering contract; she wants Billie off her hands, forever to be the responsibility of the groom, Dr. Craig Miller. Or maybe it's just to have more time to devote to Goldy's godfather, Jack. And Jack doesn't seem averse to the attentions of Billie's mother, though he's not particularly fond of the daughter. But when Jack's good friend, retired Doc Finn, is murdered on his way to a wedding catered by Goldy, Jack isn't interested in anything but discovering the secret that cost his friend his life.

Goldy is too busy keeping up with all of Billie's changes to follow Jack's investigation until the scene of the wedding and the investigation focus turn out to be the local spa, headed by Goldy's long-time nemesis Victor Lane. There's no doubt something fishy is going on, and Goldy is going to find out what after Jack falls victim to the killer. Quicker than the bride can say, "I do," Goldy finds herself the target by a madman determined to get away with murder.

Diane Mott Davidson's FATALLY FLAKY is the 15th of the Goldy Schulz Culinary Mystery series. It's been fun watching Goldy develop into an intelligent, savvy character with a strong supporting cast of friends who help with her business and detecting. There's a strong sense of community in Aspen Meadow and Goldy has worked hard to find her niche in this world. FATALLY FLAKY is fast-paced and intelligently plotted, leading the reader through several twists until the killer is revealed. Once again, the bad guys have met their match in this clever caterer!

SUMMARY

Cynics say getting married is a death wish. . . .

It's been a long, rainy summer for Goldy Schulz, who is engaged in planning wedding receptions for what seems to be all of Aspen Meadow. It's bad enough that Billie Attenborough, the bride from hell, has changed her menu six times and the event date twice. Now she wants to move the location to the Gold Gulch Spa just a scant two days before tying the knot to her doctor fiancΓ©.

Then Doc Finn, beloved local physician and the best friend of Goldy's godfather, Jack, is killed when his car tumbles into a ravine. At least that's what appears to have happened. But Jack thinks Doc was murdered because of the research he was doing at the spaβ€”allegations that are confirmed when Jack himself is attacked.

So Goldy dons chef's whites and goes undercover at the spa, where coffee is outlawed in favor of calming smoothies, and the fruit cocktail doesn't include fresh fruit. Add in the obstreperous owner, who years ago tried to sabotage Goldy's fledgling business, and she's got her hands full.

Above all, there seems to be a clever killer on the spa grounds, watching her every move. After what befell Jack, Goldy knows that she might be next. Catering weddings, and cooking low-fat food, could be killing herβ€”literally.
