Bestselling culinary mystery author Diane Mott Davidson has whipped up another tasty bestseller with Chopping Spree, her 11th novel to feature Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz and her original recipes. Bantam's first printing was more than 100,000 copies and the book is enjoying its second week on PW's list. Davidson is now on a month-long book tour, where she is, of course, bringing her signature home-baked treats to greet her fans at bookstore appearances nationwide. Her most recent paperback bestseller, Sticks & Scones, has nearly 400,000 copies in print.
