Caterer Goldy Schulz is back in another culinary mystery
adventure sure to please Davidson fans. While driving to
her despicable ex-husband's house to ensure that their son
won't come home to an empty house, Goldy finds more than
she bargained for when her ex's glamorous new girlfriend
Suz Craig shows up dead in a ditch and her ex is arrested
for the murder. Urged on by her 14-year-old son who begs her
to prove his dad is innocent, Goldy, with the help of cop
and husband Tom Schulz, wades into the mystery with both hands.
Secrets, lies and the inner workings of the HMO Suz Craig
worked for (which appears more interested in dollars than
patient care) lead Goldy into deadly danger while uncovering
the murderer's identity.
Of course Goldy whips up more delicious treats during the solving of the crime -- all recipes are provided. Very entertaining with a lovable sleuth and lots of humor, The Grilling Season is a tasty treat you'll want to devour in one sitting.
Return to the November 1997 issue of The IWJ.
