The Grilling Season

by Diane Mott Davidson

Caterer and amateur sleuth Goldy Schulz reluctantly gets involved in another murder investigation when her ex-husband is accused of murdering his girlfriend. Goldy's ex-husband, a deceptively charismatic doctor, is also being sued for medical malpractice by an old friend of Goldy's, who is convinced that his carelessness caused her miscarriage. But a careful investigation reveals that there is more to this case than meets the eye. Along with a slew of south-of-the-border recipes, Davidson dishes up another mouth-watering mystery.
