Tastfully done!

This is my first book by this author, but won't be my last. My stomach rumbled the whole time. The recipes sound yummy and the book was hard to put down. I read it in 24 hours. It was a light read but enjoyable and entertaining. The plot is see-through. I think we can all see that the Jerk is a JERK indeed, but everyone knows somehow he didn't do it, deep down I think. All the fingers point to some of the other characters we meet along the way. I really felt I was at the health food store, and I loved the details. Colorado being my home state, I really loved all the descriptions. I read the little blurb of Prime Cut, and already got it from the library! These recipes will be added to my collection!

First Time Fan

This is the first book of Diane Mott Davidson that I have read. Terrific story, fast moving, interesting characters, and last but not least a good plot. The recipes are an added bonus, I tried her Chicken a la Orange last night and both my husband and I loved it! I'm looking forward to other books in her collection.

Definitely makes you hungry!

This is one of the popular "female mystery solver" series you don't have to follow in sequence. But it doesn't hurt if you do. I think this is her best so far. The characters have by now become really well developed. A couple of her previous books have had moments in which the characters' actions or words didn't quite ring true, but I didn't have that sense in this one. Well paced, very well thought out, satisfying conclusion. It was a little too long for my taste at 400 pages, but amazingly well worth the time.

If you like murder stories and cooking this lady is the Best

I have read all of Diane Mott Davidson's books. They are an easy read and make you feel like part of the family. Would recommend them all! Watch Out Betty Crocker, the recipes are great! The chocolate comfort cookies will wow you! If you need to plan a dinner menu that is even included.

Great book!

I thought the story line was wonderful. I'm glad to see that the JERK got a little taste of his own medicine. Definitely one of my favorites in the Goldy series!
