How is she not already in a skilled nursing facility with all her accumulated injuries- which are increasingly gratuitous and do not move the story forward? (

I love a book with recipes but these are quite involved. Anyway, the story involves Goldy and her ex-husband. Goldy finds the body of his current girlfriend and everyone assumes that John killed her. His son, Arch begs Goldy to try to help his father and Goldy wants to do it only to make her son happy. So Goldy tries to delve into all the people that are involved, all the while tending to her catering jobs, mostly by herself. I find some of it a little hard to believe, but entertaining just the same. (

Quick read, lightweight story, too many random characters. Not my style of 'mystery'. (

Goldy Schultz, owner of Goldilocks catering in Aspen Meadow, Colorado, has a big problem. Her abusive ex-husbandJohn Richard Korman, aka The Jerk, has been arrested for the murder of an executive of the HMO where he works as an OBGYN Doctor. He had been dating the executive. Goldy’s son wants Goldy to help prove his dad is innocent. The problem is that Goldy is a witness; she found the body, and as such cannot interfere. Also, a friend of hers is suing John Richard and the HMO for negligence. Meanwhile Goldy has catering to do: a hockey party and a Babsie Doll convention. Is John Richard innocent, and what can she do to clear him? It’s all a twisted mess.

This was a fair read. Not was much action or much in the way of humor. I enjoy a bit of humor, but there was little. There was too much of Goldy mulling the case over and over. It became tedious. On to the next. (

Goldy once again finds a murdered body. This time it is the girlfriend of her ex-husband (AKA Jerk) and he is arrested for the murder. Will justice finally prevail? One would think Goldy would just sit back and enjoy seeing the good doctor sit in jail for this crime; however, that isn't the case as her son, Arch, asks him mom to find the truth and to get his dad out of jail. Diane Davidson does a great job with this plot and including some wonderful recipes. (
