I read this book quite a few years ago, well before I started BookCrossing. I don't remember it in enough detail to feel able to rate it fairly, but I do recall that I enjoyed it (and several others in the same series) as a light, cozy mystery novel. I hope the next reader enjoys it also!

Reserving for the Mystery / Thriller VBB.

Description from Amazon:

"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Together Goldy and André struggle in a hopelessly outdated kitchen to cater to a vacuous crowd of beautiful people whose personal dramas climax when a camera is pitched through a window...into the buffet.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!"

Removing from the Mystery / Thriller VBB and making available.

I'm headed in this direction and will release a book while I'm there. I hope the finder enjoys it!
