"If you are a follower of Goldie Schulz, caterer extraordinaire, you will not be disappointed with # 15 in the series. I had read several of the early books in the series although, I must say that I that I realized I had fallen quite behind in the series when I saw this was #15.. I listened to this as an audiobook, and had read all the others. I have to first say the reader, Barbara Rosenblat, is a jewel. She does wonderful contrasting voices for all the characters. This is a series of mysteries that fall in what I would call cozy mysteries and yet Ms. Davidson still does a great job of holding your interest and keeping you guessing until the end. In this addition, Goldie has two weddings to cater and neither turn out as festive events. Along the way there are two murders, and Goldie must figure out if they are connected and who the culprit or culprits are without becoming the next victim. I always enjoy the recipes that accompany the book and that is the one thing that I missed about the audio version. I guess I will have to check a copy out from the library to copy some of the recipes that appealed to me." — Donura (4 out of 5 stars)

“Goldy Schulz’ frustration with her wacky, often annoying clients goes over the top at times in this light and funny…novel. Can people really be that dumb?…The character caricatures provide good comic relief.”
“Another winning entry in Davidson’s mouthwatering series.”
“Barbara Rosenblat’s high-quality performance of Davidson’s mystery…is a delightful listening experience. Rosenblat finds appropriate voices for the broadly drawn characters of heroine Goldy; her lovable husband, Tom, a homicide detective; her best friend, Marla; and a ‘bridezilla’ named Billie…Series fans will enjoy the productions’ lighthearted and funny moments.”
“Davidson yet again concocts another excellent recipe-stuffed mystery. The familiar characters, good pacing, and puzzling mystery will make cozy fans hungry for more.”
" The recipes in the early books were great, but no more. "
" This was a pretty simple "who dunnit" mystery with no big surprises. While I was entertained, I don't think I will read another. "
" I really liked this most recent book in the series. "
" I love Goldy- it makes me want to break out the pans and do some cooking- she makes it seem so easy. And she solves the murder- wow what a woman! "
" Delicious! Here's another book about Goldie the caterer whose theme is "where everything is just right." Again she is embroiled in another mystery. It is as always very amusing with some recipes thrown in (mostly that sound great but are much too high in calories.) "
" I like this series and I wouldn't miss the new one. "
" Loved it. All her books are fun reads. "
" Davidson's Goldy series is solid. You always know you're going to get a tight, well-written story with good characters, ongoing development, and a plot that is intricate without being too convoluted. "
" The characters and plot were entertaining. I will look forward to reading more in this series. "
" Fun and light with good recipes! "
" I remember reading several of Davidson's earlier books years ago and enjoying them, but this was "meh". There was some mild language that wasn't in her earlier books and the writing didn't seem "fresh" - the best way I can explain it. I debated whether or not even finishing it. "
" Kind of disappointing and predictable, not one of the better ones in this series. "
" This book was pretty good. Nothing spectacular but a pretty good easy/beach read. "
" I think we can all agree that Davidson isn't going to win any literary awards, but her books are light and entertaining, with good recipes. "
" Interesting but the plot seems forced. I was surprised by the ending which is why i give it three stars, but i am not sure i would read more books in the series. I was not anxiously waiting to see what would happen next. i could easily put the book down and not wonder what would happen. "
" i've read her books before. My new book club was reading books by her so I chose this one. It's like her others. No complaints. "
" This author seems to get better and better. Recipes not generally good for healthy hearts, however. This case involves weddings, a doctor, a health farm, and her godfather. A good read. "
" good read - she is pretty cute "
" Ok ! Ok ! I'm guilty ! I like Diane Mott Davidson ! She writes; I read ! I have no defense ! "
" A good continuation in the Goldy series, light reading but entertaining. "
" I love how the recipes are in the book. "
" It seems like I've been reading Goldy mysteries forever, and they never get old!! I love the recipes that are included, too - bonus! "
" Fast read- super light- I used to read her a lot in highschool, thought since I have very little brain these days it would be a quick easy read. And it was. I love how she puts recipes in the book! I know so cheesy. "
" good book,full of culinary delight! "
" I need a break from these books. Goldie's poor choices are getting annoying. Tom is too patient with her. I still like the cullinary theme, though, and the mysteries are fine. More Tom, More Julian next time, please! "
" Liked the idea of a culinary mystery but was disappointed on how predictable and boring it was. "
" I really liked her other books I have read. This one was a disappointment. Too forced and obvious. Too much whining and too many tangents unrelated to the plot. "
" I really love this series but this wasn't one of her best. I found the Bridezilla to be so annoying I had trouble finishing it. "
" These are fluffy fun, especially on audio. I've skipped around a bit: apparently this is the last (or latest?) in the series. The bridezilla angle was a little played out by the end, but it's always fun to watch a fictional disaster, especially if it involves cake. "
" Another good addition to the series, with lots of yummy recipes, as always! "
" A good, mindless read with a predictable twist. "
" Very fun, quick and easy read. "
" As always, Davidson kept the pages flying by for me. Good light reading. "
" I listened to this as audio book. I had trouble getting beyond Bridezilla. Turned it off once and later listened to it while I drove to and from work. Liked the resolution, but story a bit drawn out. "
" After reading all the Goldie Schulz books, I am getting tired of her incessant whining and lack of self-esteem. She needs counseling. I continue to buy the books, however, because I love the recipes. So far they have all been winners. "
" Not one of Davidson's best, but lovely to spend an evening with old fried Goldie. "
" The books in this series are always fun reads. I must admit though, I miss the Jerk. Kinda wish Davidson never bumped off Goldy's ex-husband. "
" B; A fun story about a wedding planner/caterer who finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation. She's married to a cop. I'd check out others in the series. "
" this series is always fun! "
" Latest in the series is rather tired and lacklustre. "
