Life is anything but calm for caterer Goldy Bear Schultz. Between managing her busy kitchen, caring for her son, and catering at a historic mansion, she has plenty on her plate — until someone turns up dead.

In Sticks and Scones, Diane Mott Davidson delivers another cozy, culinary mystery that’s as satisfying as a homemade dessert.
