“Today’s foremost practitioner of the culinary whodunit.”
—Entertainment Weekly

"This is my second Goldy mystery. I thought this book had a better plot than the first one I read. I always like the little cooking tidbits in the books. This time I will try the brined pork chops. Something that I never heard of before. These mysteries are light, easy reads. "
— Lynn (4 out of 5 stars)
" Listened to this book on CD while driving my mom to Phoenix. There were too many characters, and seemed a bit contrived, but I loved the recipes that were included and the setting for the book is in Colorado, near where I live, so I loved the references to places that I know. The mystery kept me guessing up till the very end. "
— Joyce, 2/20/2014" took awhile for me to get through this book but I enjoyed it, amazing twist at the end. "
— Kat, 2/15/2014" It's been a while since I've read about Goldy and her gang, but I'm glad I went back to visit. I now need to go back and read Dark Tort and Double Shot-because clearly I missed some important developments! "
— Jason, 2/12/2014" Silly plots, but since the main character cooks for a living, there are amazing recipes in the book. Fun escapist reading, finished in a couple of hours. "
— Amy, 2/3/2014" Murder mysteries are my guilty pleasure, and this series is one of my favorite for pure entertainment-reading. I do have to emphasize that it is the audio version that I'm giving 4 stars; the woman who does the reading (Barbara Rosenblat) is delightful to listen to. "
— Sherilynn, 1/31/2014" Greatly written. Nice twist. A bit boring in the middle but the beginning and ending are captivating. "
— Karissa, 1/17/2014" 1/6/12 - This was a so-so read. It read like an abridged book (which it was), meaning I had a little trouble keeping track of the characters and the transitions were a little abrupt. The story itself was decent enough, the writing was okay. I may have enjoyed this more had it not been abridged. "
— Coleen, 1/15/2014" Goldy is attacked when she arrives at her new catering center. She finds spoiled food and mice. Later that day after she argues with him, she finds ex-husband John Richard murdered. To clear herself, she has to find his murderer. Along the way she discovers the product of one of his affairs, years earlier. Typical Davidson with lots of secrets, twists, and murders in a very small town. "
— Debby, 1/6/2014" Still the best one I've read and this the second time I've read it. A wonderful, fast paced "foodie" mystery. Diane's character development is excellent, even if you've never read about Goldy Bear Catering, you are instantly drawn into their lives and troubles. "
— Jeannette, 1/6/2014" A quick mystery read, just started today, found it on my shelf at home (I think left by someone who purchased it at an airport bookstore - ha!) "
— Mugsymkelly, 12/16/2013" Another fun mystery. I've read/heard it before, but didn't remember all the side stories . . . nice story to ease my mind through "
— Annette, 12/13/2013" Double Shot is book #12 in the Goldie mysteries. She is a caterer who can get into some sticky situations. Her characters are interesting from her son, husband, and ex-husband. Her series is a good cozy mystery. "
— Faith, 11/30/2013" This is about a caterer that is framed for a murder and how she uncovers the truth. It's light reading, a little wordy, and let's you laugh every so often. "
— Betty, 11/23/2013" GoldyBear Schulz #12: A catering sleuth? This stylistic mashup seems forced; like full-fat milk gone bad, it just doesn't flow smoothly. I may try another one of the series someday, but this particular book is a flop. "
— Rochelle, 10/31/2013" It is entertaining and light. "
— Alice, 9/2/2013" Very captivating cozy with humor involved. If you like cozies and recipes, I highly recommend. "
— Karin, 8/19/2013" This is a fun little beach read mystery. I liked the easy reading and how the main character likes to cook (so human) in times of anxiety, thought, stress. Cute and fun--with a murder mystery of course, take it to the beach--although you will crave cookies after. "
— Sara, 5/29/2013" I love Diane Mott Davidson! Recipes included are a bonus! "
— Tracie, 5/8/2013" I enjoyed this murder mystery/recipe book! Goldy mysteries are an easy read with likable characters. "
— Carol, 3/28/2013" I enjoy reading the Diane Mott Davidson mysteries. There is nothing offensive in them. In this one, her exhusband is killed and she is the prime suspect. If you like cooking, there are also recipees at the end. "
— Sheryl, 2/25/2013" Fun cozy. It instantly grabs the attention--easy read. "
— Lynne, 7/16/2012" made me hungry the whole time I read it. All that talk about cooking this and that. my gooodness. I couldn't concentrate on the story. "
— Kim, 6/24/2012" These books are light reading and entertaining. I like the recipes at the end of the books. "
— Pam, 9/28/2011" A fun, quick read. I love the humor and tenacity of Goldy. "
— Theresa, 5/21/2011" I have been a fan of Diane Mott Davidson for years and I found this one in my to be read pile. If you like cozies, you will like this series. The recipes are nice too. "
— Virginia, 2/13/2011" This is about a caterer that is framed for a murder and how she uncovers the truth. It's light reading, a little wordy, and let's you laugh every so often. "
— Betty, 11/19/2010" Cute, funny, and I'll listen to another of her audio books "
— Jerri, 10/12/2010" Another fine mystery and the recipes that made me hungry Party Apples and The Whole Enchilada Pie. "
— Teesa, 10/6/2010" One of her better books, the death is of a long standing "villain" in the books. Goldy herself is accused of murder and has to investigate to prove her innocence. Loved it!<br/> "
— Joy, 9/20/2010" Not bad brain junk food. Sometimes it's nice to break away from reading thought-provoking books and just veg out on easy reads. "
— Kit, 8/8/2010" Looking forward to the next in the series. "
