Caterer and sleuth extraordinaire Goldy Schulz returns in another tasty and suspenseful adventure from New York Times best-selling author Diane Mott Davidson

Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz cooks up bigtrouble as she tries to help her longtime friend and fellow chef Yolanda Garcia. When the rental house shared by Yolanda and her irrepressible aunt Ferdinanda is destroyed by arson, the pair move in with cop-turned-PI Ernest McLeod. But then Ernest is shot dead and his house is set on fire, nearly killing Goldy, Yolanda, Ferdinanda, and nine beagle puppies that Ernest had recently rescued from a puppymill.

Concerned for her friends, Goldy invites them to stay with her while the sheriff’s department investigates. Yet even Goldy’s house isn’t safe, and after a failed break-in by an unknown intruder a cop is sent to keep an eye on things.Then a second body is found.

Swapping her chef’s hat for a sleuthing cap, the intrepid Goldy steps up the investigation. But she’s got to move fast. It’s crunch time to close in on a killer, before he can close in on her.

Filled with danger as well as laughs, wonderful food, and scrumptious recipes, Crunch Time is a delicious indulgence sure to satisfy all of Goldy’s fans.

Love the Goldie series, another hit for Diane Mott Davidson. Loved the ending that left a question in the air. Also, Barbra Rosenblatt is my favorite narrator.

Would you listen to Crunch Time again? Why?

Diane has done it again. Just as I am guessing who the villain is the tables are turned and it is someone I never expected. I love her books.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes , something was always happening. It was hard to stop listening when I had to go to work.

What does Barbara Rosenblat bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

yes she does by using different accents and tones that I would not use in my head had I read it to my self. Also I love having someone read to me.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laugh at different times

Any additional comments?

No I think I said it all

Keeps me on my toes

There are a number of trails to follow, but they all lead to deceit. This keeps our Goldie busy throughout the book, and us entertained.

I was warned in advance that the latest Goldie was not as good. I agree that it is not the greatest of these volumes, but it was a good read for me. I have always enjoyed these stories as they are an ok mystery and are fairly uncomplicated and easy to follow. I like the characters and have always felt like I had taken a pleasant trip while reading one of these stories; this time was no exception, I enjoyed the ride. Be warned however, this time Ms Davidson expands things and tells a longer story with more plot, but was not none the less still a good trip to Colorado for me.

Would you consider the audio edition of Crunch Time to be better than the print version?

Did not read the print version.

Who was your favorite character and why?

As always my favorite character was Goldie, she gets into tangles that seem impossible to get out of, but she does with flair.

Have you listened to any of Barbara Rosenblat’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This performance was exactly as expected, very good and expressive.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was light hearted, but there periods of sadness.

Any additional comments?

Glad they finally got rid of the jerk, he was no longer relevant. Can not wait to see who will replace his character.

Avery, very, very good listen!
