From the New York Times bestselling author of The Grilling Season comes a delectably deadly new novel of savory dishes and unsavory deeds， as caterer turned sleuth Goldy Schulz must find the missing ingredient to a killer concoction of high fashion， low-life， and murder.An unscrupulous new rival has pushed Goldy s beloved catering business to the brink of collapse. An even more unscrupulous local contractor has left her precious kitchen in a shambles. Yet Goldy has joined forces with her old mentor， French chef Andre Hibbard， to cater a fashion photo shoot at a turn-of-the-century mountain cabin. There， in a hopelessly outdated kitchen， Goldy and the temperamental but kindhearted Andre struggle to create warming Models Mushroom Soup， Savory Florentine Cheesecakes， and a luscious spread for a vain and vacuous crowd of beautiful people whose personal dramas climax when a camera is pitched through a plateglass window...into the buffet.Things go swiftly from bad to worse when the infamous building contractor， Gerald Eliot， is found strung up in the house of one of Goldy s best friends， the president of the local historical society. Goldy is certain that her friend isn t a killer--even if he had every motive for murder. After all， how many others would have cheerfully strangled unethical Mr. Eliot， including Goldy? Now Goldy readies for a society soiree tasting party against her archnemesis that could make or break her career. As she prepares Big Bucks Bread Pudding， Andre s Coq au Vin， and Jailbreak Potatoes， Goldy faces the shock of a second murder closer to home. Suddenly she must find the ingredients of a mystery that includes 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 she comes up with is the perfect recipe for murder. And Goldy may be the next one on the menu!
