Catering a wake is not Goldy’s idea of fun. Yet the Colorado caterer throws herself into preparing a savory feast including Poached Salmon and Strawberry Shortcake Buffet designed to soothe forty mourners. And her culinary efforts seem to be exactly what the doctor ordered...until her ex-father-in-law gynecologist Fritz Korman is struck down and Goldy is accused of adding poison to the menu. Now, with the Department of Health impounding her leftovers, her ex-husband proclaiming her guilt, and her business about to be shut down, Goldy knows she can’t wait for the police to serve up the answers. She’ll soon uncover more than one family skeleton and a veritable stew of unpalatable secrets–the kind that could make Goldy the main course in an unsavory killer’s next murder!

Cute start to the Goldy Bear series. Really liked Arch and Goldy's relationship in this one.

I liked it. (obviously. 4 stars :-D)
There were the old tropes - MC starting to investigate the crime she is suspected of, falling for the handsome detective, yada yada, but Diane manages to do it very nicely. I didn't get irritated by that.
It was a bit... questionable. But OK.
