A Caterer Investigates a Murder Close to Home

Goldy Schulz’s catering work brings her into a local law firm, where she discovers that the murdered paralegal is also her next-door neighbor. Asked by the victim’s mother to seek answers, Goldy begins investigating alongside her professional obligations, moving through a circle of possible suspects tied to the firm. The novel combines an amateur-sleuth setup with a workplace-centered murder case, placing food preparation and legal-office connections within the same mystery. As Goldy’s inquiries deepen, the danger shifts from a question of who committed the crime to a threat that may reach her directly.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of amateur-sleuth mysteries
  • Readers interested in women-led detective fiction

Book overview

The New York Times bestselling author of Double Shot cooks up a knockout treat featuring irrepressible caterer Goldy Schulz that gives new meaning to the phrase, “let's kill all the lawyers”

I tripped over the body of Dusty Routt sometime after 10 on the evening of October 19th.

Goldy Schulz has a lucrative new gig, preparing breakfasts and conference room snacks for a local law firm. It's time consuming, but Goldy is enjoying it--until the night she arrives to find the firm's paralegal dead. The poor girl also happens to be Goldy's next-door neighbor, and now her grieving mother begs Goldy to find out who murdered her daughter.

Just because the police are on the case doesn't mean Goldy can't do a little snooping--and catering--too. Before long, Goldy is knee-deep in suspects, one of whom is very dangerous and very liable to cook Goldy's goose.
