From Booklist:
Caterer Goldy Bear's wedding would have been perfect except for two minor problems--the priest is killed shortly before the wedding and her fiance, homicide detective Tom Schulz, is kidnapped from the scene of the crime. Frustrated with waiting for updates from the police, Goldy attempts to find out who ruined her wedding. Is the killer the organist, recently fired by the priest? Or the disgruntled theology student snubbed by the ordination board? Sandwiched between the suspense and Goldy's 10 gourmet recipes are layerings of criticism directed at organized religion. The scandals of Goldy's church snowball as she pursues the killer. Battles over church funds, building projects, and hymnal music lead to suspicious miracle healing and cleric egocentricity as well as corruptness. And although Tom Schulz's character is never more than one-dimensional, Goldy's realistic thoughts and reactions to events make her an interesting personality--and turn this book into a substantive mystery.

This is the first book I've read by this author and was pleasantly surprised to find a pretty good mystery and recipes as an added bonus!!

Light mystery about a caterer who also does some detective work. Recipes are included, and provide a nice gimmick.

Book #4 in the series. Always a good read from this series. I love the cooking portions and since I have been to the area where she lives, I can imagine it. I enjoy the characters too.
