A delectable blend of mystery, wit, and recipes as caterer Goldy Bear stirs up trouble in another charming culinary caper.
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. When a rash of mysterious accidents and shocking secrets threaten her friends and business, Goldy must once again mix determination and courage to uncover the killer hiding among the scones.
In Sticks and Scones, Diane Mott Davidson delivers another cozy, culinary mystery that’s as satisfying as a homemade dessert.

Strange happenings in the kitchen, sabotaged meals, and a shocking murder force Goldy to trade her apron for investigative intuition.
