A chilly reception. …

Caterer Goldy Schulz has been hired to host a hockey party. But the proceedings won’t be all fun and games. Unfortunately, her client won’t be satisfied until Goldy adds a hefty serving of revenge.

An ex-husband from hell. …

Patricia McCracken is certain that her obstetrician and her penny-pinching HMO are responsible for the loss of her baby. Now she is suing both, and she wants Goldy’s advice on coming out on top. For Dr. John Richard Korman, aka the Jerk, is none other than Goldy’s abusive ex-husband.

Goldy knows all about John Richard’s secret life—but even she is shocked when he’s arrested for the murder of his latest girlfriend.

A dish best served cold. …

As much as Goldy would like to see her ex get his just desserts, could he really be a killer? Soon she will find herself sifting through a spicy mix of sizzling gossip for clues to a mystery that threatens her catering deadline, her relationship with her son and new husband … and even her life.

I love Diane Mott Davidson’s books, but the way she accepts the apparent kick me sign tattooed on her back is so frustrating. Also, when is she going to put her son in his proper place?

Solid storyline, but our heroine is a pushover

Always enjoy following Goldy's adventures. Rosenblatt narration is excellent making individual characters come to life.

Grilling Indeed!

Not really. But Goldy lets him be a jerk, a future adult jerk, like his dad maybe. Grow a backbone and ffs use your damn security system.

These books do exactly what the author meant: take you away into a detailed mystery, with fully developed characters, in an attractive setting...very well-written and an excellent way to escape. Yes, it is true more happens to Goldy than your average bear (pun intended) and she is reckless with her safety...but she is endearing and it is part of the mystery style. Real life issues are very much part of it, but the reader is given a reassurance that hope for better times exists. This must be my third or fourth reading. The narration by Barbara Rosenblat is superb.

A strong entry in the well-crafted saga

If you consider that I fell asleep with ear buds in my ears a fact that I couldn't stop listening you'd be right.

I have always enjoyed Miss G's attitude toward life. I know when I listen more often I tend to mimic her bravery and "can do" fierceness.

Ms Davidson has captured this cast of characters and bootleg them up. She just takes the top off to let the aroma of suspense and mystery float around the room long enough to begin her next book. As inspiration wans the bottle opens.

I can't wait to read the next one. You can read out of order but only by one or two books. More than that and you could miss an entire character.

Storyline is great. The abusive ex-husband, lovingly known as “The Jerk”, plays a dominant role in this one. The abuse is slightly more graphic in this installment than in the others. Made me cringe some. Overall, I enjoyed it.

Enjoyable listen as the previous books. The story was a little thin but it came together in the end. My main complaint is how the son follows the father in abusing the mother. It may not be physical, but mental and verbal abuse is just as bad and someone should be teaching that lesson. Over all we enjoyed listening to Barbara Rosenblats narration. On to "Prime Cut".

I have this book with a different narrator, Barbara Rosenblat has done so many of these books, she real grows on you with her personality and depth. also, there is no music between chapters!!! the rest of the review is below...

the music was annoying. good storyline, and well thought out plot. the main character lucked into solving the crime, and again, spent too much time talking to the murderer to have a psychology degree.

good book

pretty good for fluff mystery but I have to say the character of her son is super annoying and tries my patience lol.

pretty good

How dare the Goldie character makes it seem okay to get beat up by the kids father. She hides it from the kid and allows him to use emotional black mail. That child needs to know it is never okay! Very disappointed.
