Diane Mott Davidson writes mystery novels. They are not scary. And they always have recipes included. Lemme try to explain. Each novel is about a caterer named Goldy Shulz. Goldy is married to a police detective (comes in handy) and has a teenage son. Everywhere she goes, people get murdered. It sounds grisly but, somehow, the author, makes it seem like "Murder She Wrote". Remember how everytime Angela Lansbury would visit someone, the audience would be like "Not everybody is gonna leave this dinner party alive."? Same thing with this series.
So somebody gets murdered. At this point Tom, the husband cop, warns Goldy not to get involved in the investigation. Goldy always agrees and describes how busy she will be with her various catering jobs. She then proceeds to cook and snoop until she solves the case 400 pages later. She usually gets attacked at some point in the process also.
Seriously, the same things happen in every book. But they're great. Trust me on this.
