Diane Mott Davidson Synopses: Catering to Nobody is the first book in the Goldy Schulz series by Diane Mott Davidson. In the midst of an unwelcome task, Colorado caterer Goldy Bear finds herself embroiled in a deadly mystery. Despite her reluctance, she puts her culinary skills to use in preparing a comforting meal for a wake, aiming to provide solace to the mourners with dishes like Poached Salmon and Strawberry Shortcake Buffet. However, her efforts take a dark turn when her former father-in-law, Fritz Korman, a gynecologist, suddenly falls victim to a poisoning.

The situation becomes even more dire for Goldy when she is accused of being responsible for the poison that led to Fritz’s death. With the Department of Health seizing her leftovers, her ex-husband tarnishing her reputation, and her catering business on the brink of collapse, Goldy realizes she cannot rely solely on the police to clear her name. She embarks on her own investigation to uncover the truth.

As Goldy delves into the case, she uncovers a web of secrets and hidden agendas. The more she investigates, the more she realizes that there are skeletons in the closet, and numerous unsavory secrets lurking beneath the surface. Determined to clear her name and bring the real culprit to justice, Goldy must navigate a treacherous path filled with danger, deception, and unexpected twists.

Dying for Chocolate by Diane Mott Davidson is book 2 in the Goldy Schulz cozy mystery series. Goldy Bear is a spirited and innovative caterer who finds herself juggling a chaotic personal life while trying to establish her business. Her financial struggles and her abusive ex-husband’s threats create a challenging backdrop for her aspirations. Determined to turn her situation around, Goldy decides to relocate her catering business to the upscale Aspen Meadow Country Club. This move opens up new opportunities for her, allowing her to cater lavish events and mingle with the elite of her community.

As Goldy immerses herself in her new venture, she also finds herself entangled in a romantic triangle involving two intriguing men: Philip Miller, a charming local psychologist, and Tom Schulz, a friendly neighborhood police officer. However, her newfound happiness is short-lived when Philip meets a tragic end, crashing his BMW into an oncoming bus.

Skeptical of the official ruling that Philip’s death was an accident, Goldy begins her own investigation into his mysterious demise. Delving into his life, she uncovers a web of secrets and scandals that suggest foul play. Determined to uncover the truth, Goldy navigates a perilous path, unearthing unexpected dangers and shocking revelations along the way.
