Sweet Revenge by Diane Mott Davidson

How can a Librarian not be drawn into a murder mystery where in the first chapter, there is an altercation in the library over a cell phone and then a murder. Diane Mott Davidson brings us another book of mayhem and delicious food and all the interesting characters of her Colorado neighborhood. This library has volunteer guards and a video camera and still patrons are grumbling over internet and cell phone use. Sounds just like home.

There are always complications of course. Goldy, our heroine and caterer extraordinaire, is sure she has seen a ghost. Goldy is positive that the person she saw leaving the library was the young woman who shot her former husband and then jumped into a forest fire to her presumed death.

The dead man is the town's former D A who leaves a grieving fiancee, a furious ex-wife and a business partner desparate to find the missing maps that this man had.

So come to dinner and a murder and enjoy the dessert.
