I know I am going to love this new series by Dianne Harman!! Aside from the food which you know is going to be delicious since the newest heroine is starting a catering business. Of course she has got to figure out who murdered one of the guests at the very first catering party she booked.
Newly divorced there is no question that this venture will have to work. So with her new dog and luckily befriended by a private investigator, and liked by most of the inhabitants of her new home in Bainbridge Island DeeDee starts investigating herself. Will she figure out who murdered Lisa Sanders? One thing is for certain--it wasn't the food she prepared and served at the catering affair!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
When Lisa Sanders, a well-known Seattle art gallery owner, is found dead at a prestigious dinner party, shock waves ripple through the local art community. For DeeDee Wilson, the death becomes a personal tragedy, because the dinner party was the first ever event for her fledgling catering business.
On the following day, newspaper reports indicated the cause of death was possibly poisoning, but could it have come from the food she served the guests? In order to save her business and protect her reputation, DeeDee has to find out how Lisa, the art gallery owner, died, and if it was murder, who did it and why?
Could it have been the smarmy competing gallery owner who was jealous of Lisa's success in getting a top art glass artisan to exhibit in her gallery? Or the artist whose work she rejected because she didn't feel it was up to her standards? Was it the disgruntled ex-girlfriend who was dumped by the man Lisa was currently seeing? Or was it a museum employee who was fired by the woman who hosted the dinner party?
Join DeeDee, Jake, a private investigator she's developed a relationship with after her divorce, and her new dog, Balto, a husky dog with a blue eye and a brown eye, as they try to save DeeDee's new business venture.

I love her stories so would be surprise if I didn't like this one too. I am reading Trouble at the Kennel right now.
I am a big Dianne Harman fan! I really like her Liz Lucas series, but close, close second is the Cedar Bay series. I also follow her blog and enjoy reading about her journeys and background into some of her books...
I would love reading this series. I love reading mysteries and have not read any of Dianne's books. She is a new author to me.
