Perfect for you if...

You enjoy cosies with a grown-up protagonist who has real stakes and genuine detective skills, not just bumbling into clues.
You like recipes woven into your mysteries and don't mind stopping mid-chapter to jot down a cookie recipe.
You appreciate series where sixteen books in, the character still feels lived-in and the stakes still feel personal.

Maybe not for you if...

You want gritty police procedurals or dark, twisty plots. This is warmth and puzzle-solving, not psychological torment.
You skip recipe sections in books or resent when fiction pauses for instructional content.
You're new to the Goldy Schulz series and prefer jumping into standalone mysteries rather than book sixteen of a long arc.

About this book

Goldy Schulz, caterer and amateur sleuth, returns in the sixteenth book of Diane Mott Davidson's series. When a retired cop is murdered, the case hits close to home. Goldy finds herself investigating a mysterious fire that destroys a friend's house, followed by a second arson that appears designed to cover up a crime. Her investigation into a puppy mill operation turns deadly, and she becomes the sole protector of nine beagle puppies who serve as key witnesses. The novel includes more than a dozen recipes from Goldy's kitchen, including Crunch Time Cookies and Snowboarders' Pork Tenderloin.
