The Main Corpse

Goldy really gets into it this time! Full of fast action and faster reading. The plot is thick with suspense as Goldy tries to help Marla out of a bogus murder charge. Excellent reading.

Murder Mystery

Love these books, enjoyed each one, purchased and read all to date. Arrived promptly.

I just found a new recipe for a delicious mystery.

This was my introduction to Goldilock's deadly catering experiences. It so enticed my taste buds that I ordered every delectable book Diane Mott Davidson has served up so far, and am now chronologically devouring each and every one. The author tosses up a story with just a dash of "amature detective" interference from our fiesty caterer; adds a pinch of "woman's intuition"; a sprinkling of admiration from her cop/husband; a garnish of his own good detective skills and dishes up a great mystery which will definitely challenge your deductive powers. She also invites you, the reader, into the personal and private lives of Goldy, Arch and Tom. I have become so involved in Goldy's dream of a successful catering business; Arch's necessary growing pains; Tom's love for Goldy and his respect for her need for the time and space to pursue her dream - that I enjoy those parts which may drift away from the mystery almost as much as the mystery itself. If you enjoy a good suspense-filled whodunit, with a variety of suspects, a somewhat comedic "what can go wrong next" attitude, deliciously decadent recipes and a cast of real "non-perfect" human characters . . . then this is a Must Read!!

Deliciously enticing!

Goldy is once again at her culinary best! This book is full of action, suspense and wonderful eats! I am a big fan ever since "Dying for Chocolate". Since I love a good mystery and I love to eat her books combine the best of both worlds. Her new assistant, Macguire, is a great addition to the cast as well as Arch's dog, Jake. The recipes are to "die" for and I've already made the stir-fry and the sour cream cherry coffee cake, both are two forks up

Great Mystery Great Recipies

I'm a big fan of Ms. Davidson's books. Next to DYING FOR CHOCOLATE this is my favorite. I missed Goldy's previous helper Julian, but Macquire Perkins is a good new addition. I liked the action in this one...more intense than in previous books. Another new character I especially liked was Jake the dog. His exquisite bloodhound nose was invaluable in solving this one. The recipes, as always, are great. I've already made the gourmet dog biscuits and now my dog's favorite author is Ms. Davidson. The only problem with these books is that I get hungry and snack too much while reading about Goldy cooking up yummy stuff in her kitchen..
