Synopsis

I tripped over the body of Dusty Routt sometime after
10 o'clock on the evening of October 19. . .The New York Times bestselling author cooks up a knockout treat featuring the irrepressible caterer Goldy Schulz.Goldy Schulz has a lucrative new gig, preparing breakfasts and conference room snacks for a local law firm. It's time-consuming, but Goldy is enjoying it -- until the night she arrives to find Dusty, the firm's paralegal, dead. The poor young woman also happens to be Goldy's friend and neighbor, and now Dusty's grieving mother begs Goldy to find out who murdered her daughter.Just because the police are on the case doesn't mean Goldy can't do a little snooping herself. While catering a party at the home of one of the firm's lawyers, she manages to overhear an incriminating conversation and ends up discovering a few clues in the kitchen. Before long, Goldy is knee deep in suspects, one of whom is incredibly dangerous and very liable to cook Goldy's goose.

The same tired plot we've seen before, with a different neighbor of Goldy's getting killed. I'm surprised she has any neighbors left! Goldy is her usual exhausted, jacked-up-on-caffeine self.

Goodreads review by Meredith on August 23, 2007

Almost didn't buy this because her last book sucked so much. This one wasn't nearly as bad, but still wasn't that good. The main problems with this one is that Goldy has no plausible reason to be involved with the investigation, that she goes about it in such a haphazard way, and she leaves the vita......more

Goodreads review by Karen on June 29, 2023

First, I did not know this was a series, until I started reading and realized there were some references to some past histories. But, I kept on reading, and hoped the author would fill in the blanks. She did. So, for those who might be concerned, you can read this as a stand-alone. This is a mystery......more

Goodreads review by Vicki on February 26, 2017

I always love the Goldy Schultz mysteries, so when I saw this at my father's assisted living library, I borrowed it. As always, it was sweet but formulaic. With Goldy, you know that, whatever the nasty crime, she will solve it and, while she does, scarf up a ton of espresso and make a ton of great f......more

Goodreads review by Linda on October 21, 2010

I find myself defenseless when it comes to Diane Mott Davidson ... I read her ! Good or bad I read her, and this was more good than bad, but not THAT good. Sorry, Diane. My main complaint is that Diane has become redundant. How so, you ask ? In trivial word usage for one thing. Goldy is forever havin......more
