Summary: one of her lesser efforts
Review: "The Main Corpse" is one of Davidson's lesser efforts in the Goldy Bear Schulz series, but still lively enough to make it worth your while. Marla goes to jail in this one, and Julian is off at school, replaced by Maguire, son of the headmaster of Elk Park Prep School.
It's a western plot involving a gold mine and a false assay, various dubious characters, and of course, front and center, food and recipes. Recommended.

Summary: I wish there was a "0" option for stars
Review: Although Mott-Davidson's Goldy the Caterer series started out strongly, it has lost all its steam. I couldn't even finish this mess. I'm so disappointed!

Summary: A dark entry in the Goldy series
Review: A dreary and somewhat depressing book, without the fun sparkle of other books in the series. Even "The Last Suppers", where Goldy's groom is abducted minutes before their wedding is more cheery than this book. Perhaps the constant rain and gloom depicted in the story just pervaded the feel of this book. Goldy's best friend, Marla, is accused of murdering her boyfriend and his business partner, because she'd lost so much money in their financial investments. It's up to Goldy, The General, Arch and his new dog Jake the Bloodhound to prove the charge wrong. Not a bad book, but not quite up to the fun of the other Goldy mysteries. The recipes are wonderful as always, and I can't wait until strawberry season so that I can try the Sugar-snap pea and Strawberry salad.

Summary: Great characters; adequate mystery
Review: Another book in the Goldilocks' Catering series, this one is much more intense than the previous one I read, Dying for Chocolate. I still found several implausible scenes, but as a whole, this was an entertaining mystery. Entertaining enough, at least, that I will probably continue to pick up the books in the series from my local used book store, as they seem to have pretty much all of them on the shelf.

Summary: Quirky book, mystery & recipes!
Review: Both my passions in one place, cooking and murder. Story line may be a little unbelievable, but works for me. Recipes are worth keeping and don't detract from the mystery at hand.

Summary: Deliciously enticing!
Review: 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
