Dark Tort Audiobook

" I love this series of mysteries. I only wish I had read them in order. If you haven't read them yet, start with the first one. They make me hungry though... "

" Almost didn't buy this because her last book sucked so much. This one wasn't nearly as bad, but still wasn't that good. The main problems with this one is that Goldy has no plausible reason to be involved with the investigation, that she goes about it in such a haphazard way, and she leaves the vital clue lying around for a week, only to discover it just as the killer comes to polish her off. Then there's the fact that she and her husband Tom have multiple conversations where they tell each other things they should already know, and the strained dialog (like when Goldy asks a young woman if the murdered girl had had any "romantic liaisons"). I really enjoyed this series more when Goldy had real obstacles to overcome and her involvement with the murders was more immediate and personal. "

" I like Goldy she makes me laugh and she makes me hungry. Davidson's books are always good. "

" This was definitely not my favorite of this series. The main character spent half the book crying and whining rather than solving the mystery. Generally, as a series though, I still enjoy the books. "

" My favorite breathless writer. "

" I feel this book is so dry. Also I feel that the author is trying too hard to be "good author" because she put too much "fun scenes" and overexplaining on cooking, for instance, thermatsor (sp?) in pork tendions is 375 degree.. blah, blah.. rub butter and herbs in the bread. The book is suppose to about mystery. So I feel it has too many parts in a book. Ugh.. It took me forever to finish the book. Not my favourite. Unless you love reading about cooking, this book is for you. "

" Typical, enjoyable Goldie Bear food mystery. "

" I really enjoyed this series. All of the recipes are fun and the story line keeps you pretty much guessing. I definetely liked the books better after the exhusband died. The books were more engaging with more humor. "

" My older sister gave me this book for my birthday.. It was a good mystery book with all kinds of recipes thrown in. If you love cooking this author is for you. It did make me very hungry in some places. "

" This was a fun book that combined a murder mystery with cooking. After I read it I was really inspired to cook something wonderful. I can't wait to read more of her books. "

" This was the first book that I read in this series. It was great! Then I found out it was a series I was hooked. Love the addition of recipes in each book but haven't tried them yet. "

" As always, Diane Mott Davidson is a pleasure to read. Light and easy, she goes perfectly with chocolate cake and the cat sitting on my feet. "

" Kept me going till the end. Love having the recipes at the end! "

" I like these murder mystery books with the culinary flair but this one was wrapped up too quickly in three pages. "

" I always like these because the food sounds so fantastic. The story is just a side-note:) "

" Fun book to read. Has recipes! "

" another fun mystery from Aspen Meadows. Lots of good recipes. "

" This was an enjoy able and well written volume that combines food and mystery. The Dark Tort recipe is at the end of the book. This was a new author for me. I listened to it with my wife as we travelled together. "

" Junk fiction- but what could be better than combining cooking, coffee, and a good murder mystery?? "

" A lively and enjoyable fast paced read with just enough mystery to keep you guessing and a lot of great food to make you hungry! "

" typical Diane Mott Davidson fare; light and enjoyable. "

" Currently reading this book...but I love this author! "

" cybergift from Kris Xmas 08 "

" Fun mysteries with food mixed in. Who could resist. "

" Love this series! Fun. One day I'm going to make one of her recipes. "

" Good mystery with great food involved. What else do you need? "

" Typical, enjoyable Goldie Bear food mystery. "

" I moved this up in my stack for the food and wine challenge. "

" This was better then I thought it would be. I liked it. It was odd listening to so much cooking in a book, but the story was entertaining. I wouldn't go out of my way to read this series, but it wouldn't be my last choice. "

" This book was fun and had a good mystery with lots of twists without being frightening. The main character comes across as genuine and caring and a bit bumbling too which is endearing. "

" This one was just ok for me. It wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be as I began reading it. I got bored in parts, although did finish it to find out "who done it", and even then was not blown away. "

" Murder and cheesecake...what's left to say? In this adventure Goldy has a steady catering gig...until she trips over a body. Has to be one of my favorites in the series. A chickpea bread recipe and blue cheesecake! "

" I have read many of the books in this series. This was my least favorite so far. The recipes are usually good. The mystery was easy reading, but the characters were difficult to follow this time. "

" An interesting enough yarn, but not my usual sort of book. Hardfor me to articulate what it was lacking. "

" If you like food, cooking, and mysteries, this is a fun, mindless read with some bonus recipes the characters make. "
