Summary: Promising
Review: This was my first read of any part of this series. I found the main characters warm and engaging and this alone will ensure that I locate and read the rest of this series.The plotting however was loose and confusing and the motivation of the "bad guys" equally unclear. Nevertheless, it was an interesting and fun read.

Summary: Another culinary delight-Davidson's mysteries are great
Review: Unscrupulous caterer Craig Litchfield is trying to drive competitor Goldy's Catering out of business. However, Goldy is fortunate that at a time when solvency is at question, she has a paying customer. Goldy's spouse has been suspended without pay due to a dispute with the District Attorney. Additionally, Goldy's kitchen is a disaster after being trashed by an unethical contractor, George Eliot, who has fleeced other clients. However, her former mentor, Chef Andre Hibband, hires her to service a fashion shoot at the Merciful Migrations Cabin. When George is found murdered, the DA feels he has an open and shut case. Goldy knows the prime suspect well and disagrees with the law enforcement officials. However, when Andre is found dead, an apparent heart attack victim, Goldy sees a link between the two deaths. What she does not know is that the words of the town's most infamous criminal(who has been dead for several decades)provides the answer to the puzzle, but anyone caught trying to decipher them becomes the next target of a killer. Don't read this book on an empty stomach because the recipes are more delicious and fattening than the usual incredible fare that has made Diane Mott Davidson famous. PRIME CUT is a delighhtful Goldy culinary mystery that readers will enjoy immensely because of the refreshing, intricate, and absorbing story line. Sub-genre fans will relish Ms. Davidson's latest culinary delight. Harriet Klausner
