Product Description
A caterer's nightmare...
Caterer Goldy Schulz is convinced things couldn't get worse. An unscrupulous rival is driving her out of business. An incompetent contractor has left her precious kitchen in shambles. And she has just agreed to cater a fashion shoot at a nineteenth-century mountain cabin with her mentor and old friend, French chef André Hibbard.
A dash of cold-blooded murder...
Together Goldy and André struggle in a hopelessly outdated kitchen to cater to a vacuous crowd of beautiful people whose personal dramas climax when a camera is pitched through a window...into the buffet. Then Goldy's contractor is found hanging in the house of one of her best friends. A second murder follows and Goldy must somehow solve a mystery and prepare for a society soirée that could make--or break--her career.
A recipe for disaster...
It's a mystery that involves the dead contractor's unwholesome past, a food saboteur, the theft of four historical cookbooks, and an overzealous D.A. who has suspended Goldy's detective husband, Tom, from the force. What Goldy discovers is the perfect recipe for murder. And she may be dessert!

Format:Hardcover
Unscrupulous caterer Craig Litchfield is trying to drive competitor Goldy's Catering out of business. However, Goldy is fortunate that at a time when solvency is at question, she has a paying customer. Goldy's spouse has been suspended without pay due to a dispute with the District Attorney. Additionally, Goldy's kitchen is a disaster after being trashed by an unethical contractor, George Eliot, who has fleeced other clients. However, her former mentor, Chef Andre Hibband, hires her to service a fashion shoot at the Merciful Migrations Cabin.
When George is found murdered, the DA feels he has an open and shut case. Goldy knows the prime suspect well and disagrees with the law enforcement officials. However, when Andre is found dead, an apparent heart attack victim, Goldy sees a link between the two deaths. What she does not know is that the words of the town's most infamous criminal (who has been dead for several decades) provides the answer to the puzzle, but anyone caught trying to decipher them becomes the next target of a killer.
Don't read this book on an empty stomach because the recipes are more delicious and fattening than the usual incredible fare that has made Diane Mott Davidson famous. PRIME CUT is a delighhtful Goldy culinary mystery that readers will enjoy immensely because of the refreshing, intricate, and absorbing story line. Sub-genre fans will relish Ms. Davidson's latest culinary delight.

PRIME CUT IS BY FAR THE WORST OF THE GOLDY SERIES!!!
Horrendous story line lacking the humor provided by Marla, another of the "Jerk's" ex wives, who is being pursued by the IRS. Even the recipes in this one are mediocre. Read more
