Goldy Bear is the bright, opinionated, wildly inventive caterer whose personal life is a recipe for disaster, with bills taking a bite out of her budget and her abusive ex-husband making tasteless threats. Determined to take control, Goldy moves her business to the ritzy Aspen Meadow Country Club. Soon sheâ??s preparing decadent dinners and posh society picnicsâ??and enjoying the favors of Philip Miller, a handsome local shrink, and Tom Schulz, her more-than-friendly neighborhood cop. Until, that is, the dishy doctor drives his BMW into an oncoming bus. Convinced that Philipâ??s bizarre death was no accident, Goldy begins to sift through the dead docâ??s unpalatable secrets. But this case is seasoned with unexpected danger and even more unexpected revelationsâ??the kind that could get a caterer killed.

Digital audiobook read by Barbara Rosenblat

This is book two in the popular Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery series. Divorced and trying to avoid further altercations with her ex (usually referred to as “The Jerk”), Goldy and her son Arch have landed in temporary quarters where she is the private chef to a wealthy couple, Gen Bo and Adele Farquhar. The position gives her a place a live and access to a dream kitchen, and allows her time to also take on catering jobs. She’s also dating a man she originally met in college. But not everything is going her way. A food critic is writing very negative reviews of Goldy’s work. The Farquhar’s have taken in a former boarder at the tony Elk Park Preparatory School, Julian Teller, but Goldy doesn’t quite trust him, and she’s not thrilled that Arch follows Julian’s every move. And then people begin to die.

I started this series ages ago and loved the recipes. At that time I didn’t care if I read the series in order or not and have no memory of reading this one (and it wasn’t on my “read” shelf). It has all the elements of a successful cozy mystery series: an amateur sleuth whose “career” puts her in contact with a wide range of people (whether victim or suspect), a home situation with added tension, a love interest, and some great recipes. I have to admit that Goldy is pretty resourceful when getting herself out of a jam and doesn’t always rely on the big strong detective to save her. On the other hand, if she kept her nose out of business that isn’t hers … well we wouldn’t have this series.

Barbara Rosenblat does a fine job of narrating the audiobook. I loved the way she voiced Gen Farquahar. What a character! The audio does NOT include any of the recipes that are printed in the book, so be sure to grab a copy of the text if you’re inspired to try concocting your own “death by chocolate.” ( )

I can't help but enjoy the characters and style of writing. I didn't enjoy this as much as the later novels I accidentally started with, but I did enjoy it and it was fun hearing some more back story on the characters. ( )

I liked the idea to start with and found the book entertaining. The ending was just too bizarre and unbelievable though. ( )
  LadyoftheLodge | Jan 5, 2022 |
Nice cozy mystery. The reveal surprised me. Loved the narrator's voice. ( )

Another very solid mystery featuring Goldy the caterer. In this one, she meets Julian Teller, we find out that Marla really is Julian's aunt (thought it was just a ruse in one of the later entries, and Tom Schultz proposes. ( )
