When caterer Goldy Schulz is offered a temporary stint hosting a cooking show for PBS, she jumps at the chance. After all, she could use the money â not to mention the exposure. Plus, taping shows at Coloradoâs posh Killdeer Ski Resort will be fun. A little cooking, a little chitchat. What could go wrong? The answer: everything!
When Goldy has to do one of her shows live for a PBS telethon, the broadcast is riddled with culinary catastrophes â from the Chesapeake Crab Cakes to the Ice-Capped Gingersnaps. But the deadliest dish of all comes after the cameras go offâ and a baffling accident claims a life. Goldy better whip up a crime-solving recipe fast, before a deadly dash of danger ends her cooking career once and for all.âŠ
