Chopping Spree

Description

Caterer Goldy Schulz is hired to cater the opening event at a high-end mall—an exciting break that promises steady work and a chance to keep her life on track. But when a party at the Westside Mall turns deadly, Goldy’s carefully managed evening collapses into a fast-moving murder investigation, pulling her into danger and forcing her to navigate a web of suspicion. With her assistant Julian caught in the fallout, Goldy must rely on her instincts, her connections, and the clues hidden in plain sight—often among the very details she knows best. Blending cozy mystery with mouthwatering food and sharp small-town observation, this installment showcases Diane Mott Davidson’s signature style: suspenseful plotting, lively characters, and themes of resilience, community, and the secrets people keep behind polished surfaces.
