Summary: Calling all foodies. Mott Davidson cooks up a real treat!
Review: Am I the only food professional who didn't know about these delicious mysteries? In Killer Pancake Mott Davidson's indomitable sleuth, Goldy the Caterer, takes on the cosmetic industry, the lunatic fringe of animal rights activism, and (once again) her menacing ex-husband. And she still has time to operate her demanding business on a daily basis! Actually, that's what I like best about Mott Davidson's mysteries. Goldy has to make time for business; she needs the money. This sleuth is always real. Her business, her family, her love life, and her friendships have ups and downs and ins and outs that seem awfully familiar. Specifically I enjoy the details of her catering business and have learned or been reminded of tons of information about food preparation, storage, and presentation. These books are a veritable archive of food lore. And the recipes--some of which I've tried--are great! I especially enjoyed the recipes from Killer Pancake because they were developed for low fat crowd. Try the Vanilla-Frosted Fudge Cookies. They're yummy. My biggest worry is that Goldy will run out of murders. I mean, Kay Scarpetta has D.C and V.I. Warshawski has Chicago--no end to violent crime there. But shouldn't little Aspen Meadows dry up pretty soon? I guess there's always Denver.

Summary: cosmetic consultants and
Review: As "Killer Pancake" opens, Goldy is facing a difficult situation, catering to a group of cosmetic company representatives. Of course they are calorie conscious and want low-fat, low calorie fare, without all the buttery goodness of the recipes that have enabled Goldy to make a reputation for herself in the Colorado mountains. Julian has become involved with a beautiful sales associate. When she is found dead, Goldy must deal with Julian's isolation and grief even as she delves into solving the crime. Davidson writes with warmth and understanding of Goldy's motherly love for Julian, and mothers of young adult children will find much to identify with in her characterization of their relationship. Recommended ---you'll not be disappointed in this one!

Summary: Watch Out Jessica Fletcher!
Review: Crime stats in the deceptively peaceful mountain town of Aspen Meadow can only rival those of Cabot Cove, where friends and acquaintances of caterer Goldy Bear are in just as much mortal danger as Jessica Fletcher's colleagues. These highly convoluted crimes are usually solved with equal measures of good food, maternal blundering and feminine wiles, with a dash of social commentary tossed into the batter as well. Light hearted, fluffy, spiritual and delicious -- and low calorie too! My weight loss group is working our way through the Little Goldy books.

Summary: Dumb Doughnuts
Review: Goldy is aggravating and I can now see why the jerk beat her with regularity. While he was at it he should have pounded some sense into Arch, who is growing up to be as stupid as his mother.

Summary: Killer Pancake
Review: If you already like Diane Mott Davidson, you will like this book, because it is a good example of her work. However, if you are just starting off on her books, I would not buy Killer Pancake. I think the character is a wimp and the plot was almost boring. I would recommend Joanne Fluke if you are looking for some culinary mysteries.

Summary: This lady is a better recipie writter than mystery writter
Review: In this culinary mystery by Daine Mott Davidson, Goldy the caterer becomes involved in the deadly games of the cosmetics industry. This story has many twists and turns, and dead bodies falling out .... well...everywhere! All the recipes are lowfat, but they promise to be full of flavor. This was a fun mystery, and I look forward to trying out some of these! Main Corpse and Prime Cut are still my two favorite books by this author!
