Diane Mott Davidson, author of the bestselling culinary mystery series, once again successfully melds a robust murder mystery with a collection of fine gourmet recipes. In Killer Pancake, amateur sleuth Goldy faces her toughest challenge yet. While catering a cosmetics company luncheon, Goldy witnesses the hit and run death of a rising young sales associate. Could the death have anything to do with the animal rights picket line in the parking lot … or with the exotic blue rose found next to the victim’s body? Under the spell of Barbara Rosenblat’s skillful narration, readers will feel the urge to bite their nails as they realize that, this time, Goldy’s bitten off more than she can chew. Luckily, Ms. Davidson’s tempting recipes for Fudge Soufflé and Killer Pancakes provide a tasty alternative.

— Tracie, 1/23/2014" I love mysteries and my favourites are dark and gritty. I make an exception for Diane Mott Davidson's books. The espresso is dark enough for me. This series tosses a little murder in with culinary delights. Davidson even supplies many of the recipes Goldy Schulz uses in her catering parties. Open one of the books in this series and you can almost smell the delicious aromas emanating from Goldy's kitchen. Delish! "

— Natalie, 12/14/2013" Goldy Bear #5. Julian Teller is struggling when his girlfriend Claire is killed by a hit and run.
