The cozy culinary mystery that started it all — where murder, recipes, and small-town life mix together perfectly.
 
When caterer Goldy Bear agrees to handle a post-funeral reception in her small Colorado town, she expects a somber event — not a poisoning that turns the meal into a murder investigation. Suddenly her business, reputation, and freedom are on the line. Determined to clear her name, Goldy uses her wit, courage, and culinary skills to uncover the truth in this clever and charming debut that launched one of the most beloved cozy mystery series of all time.
 
In Catering to Nobody, Diane Mott Davidson introduces readers to Goldy Bear, a witty single mother and caterer with a knack for getting into trouble — and outsmarting killers. After a poisoning at one of her catered events, Goldy becomes the prime suspect. As she races to prove her innocence, she uncovers a tangle of small-town secrets, rivalries, and lies simmering beneath the surface.
 
Set in the picturesque community of Aspen Meadow, Colorado, this cozy mystery serves up the perfect recipe of humor, suspense, and heart. Davidson’s debut combines the warmth of domestic fiction with the thrill of an amateur sleuth tale, peppered with mouthwatering recipes that add flavor to every chapter. Catering to Nobody remains a classic introduction to the world of culinary cozies.
