Dying for Chocolate by Diane Mott Davidson

Dying for Chocolate (Culinary Mysteries ) (Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery, #2)

by Diane Mott Davidson

“A classic whodunit . . . the perfect book for food lovers.”—New York Daily News

Goldy Bear is the bright, opinionated, wildly inventive caterer whose personal life is a recipe for disaster, with bills taking a bite out of her budget and her abusive ex-husband making tasteless threats. Determined to take control, Goldy moves her business to the ritzy Aspen Meadow Country Club. Soon she’s preparing decadent dinners and posh society picnics—and enjoying the favors of Philip Miller, a handsome local shrink, and Tom Schulz, her more-than-friendly neighborhood cop. Until, that is, the dishy doctor drives his BMW into an oncoming bus. Convinced that Philip’s bizarre death was no accident, Goldy begins to sift through the dead doc’s unpalatable secrets. But this case is seasoned with unexpected danger and even more unexpected revelations—the kind that could get a caterer killed.

I can't help but enjoy the characters and style of writing. I didn't enjoy this as much as the later novels I accidentally started with, but I did enjoy it and it was fun hearing some more back story on the characters.
