The Whole Enchilada by Diane Mott Davidson

This is the 17th novel in this series which features Goldy Schulz, caterer extraordinaire.  This time around Goldy's best friend drops dead following a birthday celebration.  Goldy is hot on the trail to determine why and who is responsible.

A surprise birthday party, the stabbing of some locals, and a near disaster all work together to create havoc in Goldy's life.  She is not dismayed and marches on to try to find out exactly who is behind it all.

I've read all the books in this series and I have enjoyed them.  I particularly like the recipes that follow each story and have actually tried some of them.  However, I would be remiss were I not to say that this entry was difficult to get through.  The story seemed too busy, almost too much happening.

Never the less, if you're a fan of Diane Mott Davidson, you'll want to read this too.
