About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Diane Mott Davidson has taken readers by storm with clever mysteries filled with tantalizing plots and mouthwatering recipes. In her 12th novel, her tastiest tale yet, the ingenious storyteller whips up a rich souffle of murder and mischief.

The governor of Colorado has commuted the prison sentence of Goldy Schulz's ultra-handsome, ultra-charming, ultra-venal ex-husband, Dr. John Richard Korman, otherwise known to Goldy as the Jerk. He's released, and soon afterward Goldy becomes the victim of threats, rumors, and violence.

Then there's a murder and suspicion centers on Goldy. Suddenly, she is faced with the challenge of running her successful catering business while fending off two persistent detectives.

Caught in a web of secrets and lies that can tear her family apart, Goldy must use all of her considerable powers of detection to find the real killer before she herself becomes a target.

Loved it.

I love this type of light mystery after reading/listening to so many deep dark mysteries. I really enjoyed it.

A Real Page Turner!

Not a dull moment as Goldie gets more head injuries pursuing multiple suspects. So much dirty laundry in Aspen Meadows!

Fun Listen

This was my first experience with this author and I totally enjoyed it. I didn't expect what the end of the book (not the end of the story) was! What fun! I'm anxious to read some more of this.

Yummy from beginning to end

I have always loved the Goldy books, and this one is right on point. I don’t want to spoil anything, but a suspicious death, delicious recipes and a relentless caterer and her sidekick make for a really yummy story. Oh wait! That’s Ms. Mott Davidson’s MO for all of her books. They are all really good, but this one is exceptional. I only have one complaint - Barbara Rosenblat is sometimes hard to listen to, simply because she constantly sucks her teeth and loudly swallows. It is so annoying, and it made me remember why I read these books and avoid listening to them. Other than that, this is a delectable book.

reader noise

Book is good, I enjoy this author's mysteries. However, the woman who reads this book makes noise between almost every sentence. It interferes with the enjoyment of the book. I would have rated the book 4 stars, but due to the mouth noises, just 3 stars.

Bye, Jerk!

Goldy SHOULD have shot her ex years ago. What a horrible man.

(Only in America would someone give a 1-star review due to ‘language.’ I cannot even remember one ‘bad’ word. And so what? The words offended but the child rape and grooming would get a pass otherwise? These people need to live in a bubble.)

Best plot yet in the series...

This is a pivotal installment in the culinary capers of Goldy...and the duo detecting of the first two ex-Jerk wives is funny and engaging, especially when Marla and Goldy respond in unison. The narrator's rendition of Sandee is very funny and apt. The plot itself is possibly the best yet in the series.

I want to address the negative comments in some reviews about the narrator. I do think a different type of microphone or recording method was used, which picked up more human or mechanical sounds that appear human, and obviously a good quality assurance plan wasn't applied. There are parts that should have been re-recorded because of this curious background sound. My solution was to turn down the volume a bit and the plot was so good I didn't let it detract. I feel Barbara does her usual stellar job and I honestly was not bothered--just aware because I had seen the reviews. When I first started listening to the series, I was startled by the narrator. I had read some of the books and grew up in Colorado, so I was expecting Goldy to sound, well, a bit like me. But I reminded myself she hailed from New Jersey. Barbara Rosenblat sounds like it and I have grown accustomed to her and feel she has great transitions to other characters, finely nuanced, especially voicing Tom. I am very particular about my narrator, and I, for one, would wholeheartedly recommend this Audible recording to any potential listeners. Again, the plot is enthralling--VERY well-written.

reader could be better

I enjoyed the book, but the reader was distracting- her voice was fine, but I kept hearing her swallow. At first, it was only a minor annoyance, but by the end of the book, I was wondering if she was eating or drinking, and it was really irritating. Maybe my headphones are too good...
