I was pleasantly surprised with this book; the last few have been kind of ho-hum but this mystery was well thought out and un-ravelled well. The Yolanda character was a bit too high strung for me to really like her (don't understand Boyd's interest in her) but maybe I just don't remember her from the other books where apparently, she was mentioned.
Really liked the "cliff hanger" with Goldy and Tom. Looking forward to the next book!

Davidson still writes a good cozy.
When the rental house shared by chef Yolanda Garcia and her irrepressible aunt Ferdinanda is destroyed by arson, the pair moves in with cop-turned-PI Ernest McLeod. But then Ernest is shot dead and his house is set on fire, nearly killing Yolanda, Ferdinanda, and their good friend, Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz, along with nine beagle puppies that Ernest had recently rescued from a puppy mill.
Concerned for her friends, Goldy invites them to stay with her. But even her house isn't safe. After a failed break-in and the discovery of a second body, the intrepid Goldy decides to swap her chef's hat for a sleuthing cap. Now she's got to move fast because it's crunch time and a killer is getting dangerously close.

I Really like all of Diane Mott Davidson's books. The plot always keeps me in suspense. This book and The Whole Enchilada were the very best.
Really well crafted mystery
I have read every Goldy Shulz book and thought this one was just okay.
I liked it. All of the books I have read by Diane Mott Davidson has been very good. I am currently reading Sweet Revenge and cannot wait for the Whole Enchilada
