If you like mysteries and cooking I know some perfect books for you to read.
The author is Diana Mott Davidson. The titles of some of her books are,
"Death by Chocolate", "Killer Pancake", & "The Grilling Season".

Her books take place in Colorado and she owns Goldies Catering Service.
Somehow she always stumbles into murder and mystery. Diana's books, like Patricia Cornwell's, need to be read in sequence. She also includes recipes
in her books. It's the best of both worlds!!!!!
