First published 2002
Goldy Schulz lands her dream catering job at Hyde Castle, a genuine English castle reconstructed stone by stone in Aspen Meadow, Colorado. She plans to serve authentic Elizabethan dishes to guests at the historic venue. A shotgun blast through her window signals trouble ahead. Goldy finds a corpse in a creek near the castle. More gunshots follow, putting someone she cares about in danger. The violence might connect to her police detective husband Tom's current cases. Her ex-husband, recently released from prison, could also be involved. Goldy stops thinking about her planned menu of Shakespeare's Steak Pie and 911 Chocolate Emergency Cookies. She must solve the mystery before the killer strikes again. Death lurks around every corner as she investigates the crimes threatening her community.
