Publisher Description

Diane Mott Davidson's New York Times best-selling novels are gourmet fare for mystery lovers. Recipes for such delicacies as "911 Chocolate Emergency Cookies" and "Damson-in-Distress Plum Tart" make Sticks & Scones especially delightful. Catering Elizabethan fare to Aspen Meadow's elite at an authentic castle brought from England is a dream come true for Goldy. But the day of the luncheon, Goldy is rudely awakened by a shotgun blast through her living room window. As the day goes on, she finds a murder victim floating in a stream on castle property, watches someone close to her get shot, and begins to see the ghost that haunts the castle. Instead of a welcome opportunity, this job has suddenly become a waking nightmare. Award-winning narrator Barbara Rosenblat adds an exciting zest to Goldy's misadventures. Listeners go wide-eyed and willingly into a mystery that builds suspense to the last page.

"I read these books like I eat junk food. There's not that much to them, but on years when my New Year's resolution is to read 40 books, I can boost my numbers with a few of these. I also recommend listening to them as audio books on long car rides."

    " Engaging mysteries, and fun recipes! The only thing I don't like about these books are her relationship with her son, and the fact that characters who are considered "good friends" seem to appear and disappear at random! Otherwise I recommend them, they definitely suck you in. "
