Tough Cookie

A deliciously deadly novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Prime Cut.

"A surprisingly tart and savory reading experience."--The Washington Post Book World

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--not to mention the great exposure. Plus taping the shows at Colorado's 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--from the Chesapeake Crab Cakes right down to the Ice-Capped Gingersnaps. But the deadliest dish of all comes after the cameras go off--and a baffling accident claims a life. Then a series of suspicious mishaps places Goldy's own life in jeopardy, and she knows she'd better whip up her own crime-solving recipe, and fast--before a deadly dash of danger ends her cooking career once and for all. . . .

Diane Mott Davidson lives in Evergreen, Colorado with her husband and three sons and is at work on her tenth novel.
