In The Grilling Season, Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz’s comfortable home life is threatened when she stumbles into a perilous concoction of sweet revenge and deadly consequences. Busy with non-stop summer cook-outs, Goldy is throwing her energy into whipping up new taste treats. But her cooking is interrupted when one of her clients is murdered, and the police haul off her ex-husband. She should feel safe, now that her violent ex is behind bars, but a suddenly rebellious teenaged son is souring her recipe for happiness.

"The jerk is back and accused of murder. Goldy helps Arch and finds the real killer. But the jerk gets what he deserves for hurting her. Love the characters Goldy, Arch, Tom, and Marla. Like this series as much as the Janet Evanovich series with Stephanie Plum."
— Sheri (4 out of 5 stars)

“Davidson has created a finely nuanced suburban world, warmly detailing Goldy’s life with Arch and Tom, her protective policeman second husband, and Macguire, their long-suffering boarder.

" I love these books and the author she is great. I can't wait to get more to listen too. Thanks "
— Andrea, 9/26/2017 -
" One of Davidson's better books. The ending was a surprise for me which is nice in a mystery. It was also interesting, and disturbing at the same time, to get a better glimpse into the past Goldy shared with "The Jerk". "
— Tina, 2/17/2014 -
" Good. Not her best mystery. But good recipes again!! "
— Sandy, 2/14/2014 -

— Mckaye, 2/10/2014 -
" I love this series of books. It was a little meatier in dealing with Goldy's family issues- especially with how her Ex husband still treats her and the dynamics of a child loving both parents. I really enjoyed it. "
— Meredith, 2/3/2014 -
" Always enjoy her books, and many of the recipes as well. "
— Shirley, 1/27/2014 -

" Cute, easy read. Fun characters and a good storyline. "
— Jennifer, 12/26/2013 -
" So much potential, so poorly written. The "protagonist" is unlikeable. I filed this one in the "Anyone Can Get Published & Sell Thousands of Copies of Cruddy Books" file. "
— Kathie, 12/21/2013 -
" I like this author, but this book was annoying. Not sure if her characters were screwier than usual or if it was my mood. Fortunately, I have read some later in the series so I will continue to read this author. "
— Melanie, 12/15/2013 -
" Fun book. Loved the recipes. "
— Marianne, 11/26/2013 -
" I always enjoy the stories in this series, but really can't take any more of her allowing her son to so totally disrespect her all the time, meanwhile making excuses for him because of his louse of a father. She is simply encouraging him to develop the same abusive habits the dad has. "
— Cari, 11/18/2013 -
" Always enjoy reading about Goldy and her adventures. The description of the Colorado scenery is a plus. "
— Carolyn, 10/28/2013 -
" I think my least favorite of the Goldie Bear series. Really really loath her ex and this storyline just bugged me. Other than that good read. "
— Jennifer, 10/11/2013 -
" One of my favorite series. The plot is always fun to read, as are the character that are brought into the story. Will read more of this series. "
— Jeanette, 9/5/2013 -
" One of the best of the series. Loved it! "
— Nanette, 8/22/2013 -
" The Grilling Season is a "culinary sleuth" genre mystery. It's a good story, but since the victim and none of the potential suspects are particularly likable, it's actually a bit disappointing when the field is ultimately narrowed down and the culprit is brought to justice. "
— Trudy, 7/18/2013 -
" This series is a lot of fun and Barbara Rosenblatt is a wonderful reader. Goldie has the surprising and improbable task of proving her ex-husband John Richard not guilty of murdering his last girlfriend. "
— Bonnie, 6/13/2013 -
" Continue to love this series! "
— Ty, 6/12/2013 -

" Book club choice! "

" So,so "
— Norma, 12/16/2012 -
" I like this series and have 3 more on my shelf. But everyone was so angry in this one. Made it hard to enjoy. On the plus side, I had no idea who did it until it was revealed. Rare for me. "
