Crunch Time

?A cross between Mary Higgins Clark and Betty Crocker.?

?The Julia Child of mystery writers.?

No one cooks up a tastier stew of murder, mystery, and mayhem than New York Times bestselling author Diana Mott Davidson. Entertainment Weekly calls her ?today's foremost practitioner of the culinary whodunit.? And now it's Crunch Time, as Davidson's delightful series protagonist, caterer and amateur sleuth-extraordinaire Goldy Schulz, digs into a deadly smorgasbord that includes a heaping helping of murder, a double dose of arson...and nine adorable beagle puppies!

• A Goldy Schulz Mystery: Caterer and amateur sleuth Goldy Schulz is back, and this time the murder of a retired cop hits dangerously close to home.
• Cozy Mystery with Recipes: Includes more than a dozen delectable recipes straight from Goldy's kitchen, from Crunch Time Cookies to Snowboarders' Pork Tenderloin.
• Arson Investigation: A mysterious fire destroys a friend's home, but when a second blaze is set to cover up a crime, Goldy knows the heat is on.
• Puppy Mill Mystery: What starts as an investigation into a cruel puppy mill turns deadly, leaving Goldy as the sole protector of nine adorable (and key) beagle witnesses.
