Not as great |
Compared to the other stories, this was just not that great. The main character is still fearing her ex-hubby?? He's still violent and not YET in jail, did I miss something with the justice system?
The story and plot were great, although all of these stories keep making me more and more hungry. I love the fact that she includes recipes to go along with her stories.
This is just another one of the fluffy Diane Mott Davidson stories and I do love it, but it was a little laughable how "whimpy" the characters seemed to become in this story. |

Lo-fat mystery |
| Goldy Schulz is in "caterer's hell" when she is asked to produce a low-fat lunch for the Mignon Cosmetics Company. She and her faithful sidekick Julian rise to the occasion and manage to turn out a meal that is both delicious and healthy. Unfortunately, one of Mignon's top salepersons who happens to be Julian's girlfriend is found dead from a hit-and-run accident just as they are setting up the luncheon. Julian is heartbroken and Goldy is determined to find out who is responsible for Claire's death. Despite the fact that her policeman husband Tom is on the case, Goldy carries on her own investigation. She is suspicious of the animal rights group which picketed the luncheon because Mignon uses animals to conduct research. She also discovers that Claire had a busy romantic past and she feels that someone may have killed her out of jealousy. Another factor is that a rival cosmetic firm is carrying on some industrial espionage and Claire may have been involved in that. Goldy delves into all of these possibilities until she gets too close to the killer and her own life is put in danger. This is another enjoyable mystery in this series. |

Sprout a Spine Goldy...Please |
The book is a quck and fairly enjoyable read. You will fall in love with all of her recipies and business follies. However, after having read all of the preceeding books in the series I was somewhat disappointed with this offering.
When the books opens, she make a few comments that lead you to wonder if she has forgotten she is married and why she married someone that she is not too comfortable with, even though the previous book was about the wedding. My only other problem was how both she and her new husband (a police officer) deal with her still abusive ex-husband. No cop would let this situation get so out of control (my father was a state police office for 27 yeasr and I work in a sheriffs office). And Goldy, for all of her fearlessness in investigating is a total wimp with her ex. |
