Summary: Not as good as "Catering to Nobody," but still pretty good!
Review: I'm reading Mott-Davidson's books in order. I really liked "Catering to Nobody," where Goldy and her menagerie were introduced. I liked this story, but felt it was a little weak in the development of the "bad guys." I'm going to keep reading, however, because I like Goldy, Arch, and their assorted friends. To me, the murder and mayhem is almost secondary to Goldy's story -- bringing up Arch and making her way in the world without the JERK....Goldy's a person I would like to know, so I'm going to keep reading until I get to the latest (The Grilling Season).

Summary: Will turn anyone into a Choco-holic!
Review: Again good old Goldy leaps from the"pot" into the "frying pan". In an attempt to ease her fears of her !#@*&$!!@ ex-husband's threats and harrassment Goldy decides to take a summer job as live-in cook at a private estate in the elite area of the Aspen Meadows Country Club. During this time she is having a security system installed in her home in order to forestall any entry efforts by "the Jerk". Naturally, wherever Goldy goes, a murder is sure to be on the menu. Arch suffering through puberty. Car accident or murder? Too many suspects to count (at least not Goldy this time). Her catering business still being threatened. Can she commit to Tom yet . . . or not! Menus/recipes which will require a napkin to contain the readers drool. (honestly, I doubt anyone could read one of Diane's books and hold to a diet.) Again, all the ingredients of a very tasty and suspenseful mystery.

Summary: Second in the Goldy series
Review: Caterer Goldy Bear is back to solve another mystery. This time she and son Arch are staying with a wealthy general and his wife in order to avoid her ex-husband who is harrassing her at every turn. She serves as a live-in cook, while Arch attends summer school at an exclusive academy which is nearby. She is dating two men, Tom Schultz, a police investigator, and Philip Miller who is a psychiatrist. One night she is following Philip on a drive back to his house when his car apparently goes out of control on the mountain road and he is killed. Goldy will not rest until she finds out who is behind Philip's death. Later on there is another complication when a dead body shows up in a swimming pool. Author Davidson further develops characters which she created in her debut novel, "Catering to Nobody", and weaves delicious recipes throughout this intriguing mystery.

Summary: Keeps you guessing until an explosive ending!
Review: Dying for chocolate dives right in with the unexplained death under very odd circumstances of a very special friend of Goldy's after a catered event. Some death threats, some secrets, several anonymous food reviews and the birth certificate of a young man all play into this culinary mystery. This was one of the books by this author that I really enjoyed. The characters have real personalities and reactions you would expect. This story kept me guessing until the end as to who was guilty of murder and why. The ending was truly explosive! The recipes as always never fail to tempt you with such choices as Strawberry Super Pie, Scout's Brownies, New Potato Salad and the Chile Relleno Torta, along with six other possibilities. Can't wait for the next mystery from this author.
