Fiction. Mystery. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:Her inventive recipe for mixing first-class suspense and five-star fare has made Diane Mott Davidson a favorite of mystery lovers and a mainstay on major bestseller lists across the country. Now she has prepared another irresistibly tempting tale spiced with mystery and mayhem. . . .  
For Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz, business isn??t just booming??it??s skyrocketing. Her friend Marla is constantly warning her, ??Success can kill you.? But Goldy doesn??t take the warning literally until her next booking: a cocktail party for the Westside Mall??s Elite Shoppers Club.
While setting up, Goldy is nearly run down by a truck with no intention of stopping. Then she finds an old friend in a pile of sale shoes??stabbed with one of Goldy??s new knives. Goldy must catch the real killer between whipping up Sweethearts?? Swedish Meatballs, Quiche Me Quick, and Diamond Lovers?? Hot Crab Dip. Why was the victim carrying a powerful narcotic? Who hired a private investigator shortly before the murder? Goldy??s gourmet instincts tell her the final course in this case will be a real killer.

Player continued to mess up so I will have to try this again later.

A breezy summer read ( )

I would never want Goldy to cater an event for me because this time the client ends up dead! I don't know how Goldy gets herself into such messes! This time Julian, her assistant and family member, is arrested for the murder and Goldy tries everything she can to get him proved innocent by finding the real killer. But of course, she almost gets killed herself. A little predictable but with fun recipes and colorful characters, indeed! ( )

Goldy Shultz, owner of Goldilock’s Catering, has a booming business. Things have gotten so busy that she hired a new assistant, Liz Fury. Liz is a great cook and caterer, but her children cause her massive problems. Her son Teddy is a thief and is banned from the local upscale mall. Goldy, Liz, and Julian, Goldy’s original assistant and chef in training are catering a big preferred customer sale in the mall. Goldy was hired by the mall manager Barry, who is an old college friend of Goldy. Unfortunately, Barry is having problems with new mall construction, which is going at a snail’s pace, as well as multiple girlfriend troubles. Lots of accidents have been happening in and around the mall. Goldy suspects that Barry hired her for catering due to the fact that Goldy is a snoopy person. However, before Goldy can find out what is going on, Barry is found murdered in the shoe store of the mall; killed with one of Goldy’s new knives. Julian, who discovered Barry and a unconscious Goldy is arrested for murder. Goldy not only wants to free Julian from jail, she also got custody of Barry’s young Basset Hound named Latte.

This was a good read. Lots of new characters combine with the extensive original cast of characters. I still get tired of Goldy constantly renumerating the clues to the murder. It gets old very quickly for me as the reader. However, there is enough action to satisfy me, with lots of red herrings thrown in. ( )

Arch is rather rude in this book toward his Mom. I understand the teenage rebellion; however, Goldy (and Tom) were too passive about Arch's rudeness. Aside from that, the rest of the book was outstanding. More good food and of course a murder or two awaits the reader. ( )
