Dying for Chocolate Audiobook

" After reading a book from this series last year & posting a negative review, I was urged to read another in the series by a friend who said that the earlier books were better than the later ones of the series. This is not true. This book was worse (if that is even possible) than the book that I read last year. The characters in the series are awful one-dimensional people & the plot is just boring and far fetched. "

" # 2 in the Goldy Bear Colorado caterer mystery series. This mystery is a bit convoluted and it takes a while for the various plot lines to come together. As usual in this series, Goldy finds herself involved in murder and harassment by her abusive exhusband. However, this one has a few more story lines thrown in as well. A somewhat distracting plot element in the early novels of the series, is Goldy's struggle with dealing her young son who can be a pain in the butt as well as Goldy's attempts to appease him while feeling like an inadequate mother. "

" Maybe because I started with this book and not the first in the series, I wasn't totally enthralled. I liked the story, I liked that the book contained recipes. I wasn't sure I totally understood the characters. Something in the narrative style leaves me questioning why certain characters behave in certain ways. I'm not left with a sense of mystery about them, but rather with a sense of discord, as if what the characters do and say does not jive with how they're being described. Despite this, I'll definitely read more of the series, if only to keep up with some of the very yummy-sounding recipes. :) "

" Fun, light mystery with great recipes inside! "

" I love this series now on to book three "

" One of my favorites in the series. "

" i am trying to read all of her books. i just can't get enough. "

" Fabulous beginning and ending! Do not care for the subplot of the abusive ex-husband. "

" Again, re-reading. "

" I always enjoy these books. They are a light read but keep me interested. "

" This was a true mystery. I had no idea who the bad guy was until the book told me. I may need to read again to see if there were clues I missed along the way. What a change of pace for me. The recipes were okay, but not really anything that I would make. "

" Light hearted murder mystery that involves some interesting food choices. I listened to it in the car and enjoyed it immensely. "

" Second of this American "cosy" series. Somehow the flow of the language jarred with me and what was supposed to be a quick read actually left me needing to re-read sentences to understand. Gave up "

" I like these. Caterer and mom main character is mostly strong with a few weaknesses that she knows about. Fun. "

" These mysteries feature a caterer as the amateur sleuth. I'll definitely read more - recipes are included, plus they are quick reads. "

" There are at least a couple of good recipes in the book. "

" Fun premise...mystery and yummy food combined! "

" This is a typical Goldie Bear Catering mystery - light enough for a lazy afternoon but entertaining enough to keep you reading. I particularly like that the 2 ex-wives have become such close friends! "

" I really enjoyed this book. I have read all but 2 from the series and read them entirely out of order. It was nice to learn how the character of Julian joins the family. "

" Chocolate and murder; what more could one want? "

" Fun. Quick read. Good recipes. "

" Now this is how to write a mystery novel. Goldy comes off as much more likeable this time around and the action is much more jam-packed in this book. Great second try! "

" the title hooked me, the story and the recipes keep me looking for more. "

" Good story and characters! "

" Listened to in the car. Can't stand the narrator's voice. Book is prety bad compared to the first one in the series. "

" Book was good, but the recipes were great. "

" Loved the narrator, liked the book. "

" I got this book free as I walked onto an international flight to France. Agreeing with other reviewers-- these are simple, punny books, orchestrated at a C+ level. However, they're mindless fun, and sometimes, that's all I need. And these hit the spot for me. "

" Characters continue to be likeable,with some unexpected twists "

" A quick and easy 'cozy' mystery. It was fun, because she includes recipes at the end of the chapters. "

" Loved the narrator, liked the book. "

" Really really liked it. A bit romance, a bit culinary...with recipes...and a bit of mystery. A nice easy read. I will read more of her books; this was my first. "

" Nothing like a good mystery that involves cooking and being in the wrong place at the right times. I love Goldy and can actually identify with her. Besides some of the recipes included are really good. "

" Another very solid mystery featuring Goldy the caterer. In this one, she meets Julian Teller, we find out that Marla really is Julian's aunt (thought it was just a ruse in one of the later entries, and Tom Schultz proposes. "

" It seemed to go on and on without much happening and then it all ran together in the end. The murder seemed far fetched, especially when the entire plot was exposed. Didn't really enjoy the characters, a little flat. "

" Fun, light mystery with great recipes inside! "

" Good mystery. Fast read and the pace kept the tension high and the story moving along. "

" Light hearted murder mystery that involves some interesting food choices. I listened to it in the car and enjoyed it immensely. "
