"A very edgy type plot even for the situations protagonist Goldy usually gets in. This time she endangers the life of her best friend, son, and threatens to destroy her husbands career. It was suspenseful to the end with several twists and time-running-out scenarios."
— Anthony (4 out of 5 stars)
" These wonderful mystery audio books by Diane Mott Davidson and narrated by the FANTASTIC Barbara Rosenblat are beyond great! They have everything, mystery, humor, just love them!! "
— Carol, 3/23/2017" Goldy's best friend Marla, the "co ex wife" of her first husband, is accused of murder. "
— Linda, 2/1/2014" This title reminds me of the movie ~ The Cook, The Thief, His wife and her lover. Only because a person is cooked and people are forced to eat him. (It's an ultra-violent movie.) The book isn't violent. Instead, it's about a scam. I'm convinced Goldy has terrible judgement. Her clients always seem to have troubles. Not only are the clients crooks or drama queens, her friends are questionable too. How many people who are her "friends" have now been involved in some kind of murder? Ugh, I didn't like this one. "
— ♆, 1/31/2014" This one had some good twists. "
— Melissa, 1/24/2014" The first book in the series that I read, this one sent me searching for the rest! "
— Sharon, 1/23/2014" Mediocre writing but liked the recipes! "
— Melissa, 1/17/2014" I like all the books in this series...about a cater named Goldy...who lives in Colorado. It is fun because you get to attend all sorts of high end parties and get the recipes which are printed in the book, as well as enjoy a suspense and funny mystery! "
— Becky, 1/14/2014" Fun read - I wish I was as brave as Goldie but I sure would not want to get into the trouble she does! I love the food theme and the recipes. They inspire me to cook. "
— Ann, 1/7/2014" I love all the caterer-sleuth series! This series is my favorite though. "
— Jamilah, 1/3/2014" I love this book...it is so good. "
— Linda, 12/22/2013" Don't you hate it when you unintentionally pick up a book that you've already read, but you can't exactly remember how it goes? Yeah. It wasn't that great to start with, and the second time around some of the plot constructs are just plain ridiculous. "
