Sweet Revenge

Sweet Revenge

Goldy Schulz is thrilled to be catering a holiday breakfast feast for the staff of the Aspen Meadow Library. But little does she know that on the menu, alongside the Great Expectations Grapefruit, Chuzzlewit Cheese Pie, and Bleak House Bars, is a large helping of murder.

While setting up at the library, Goldy spots a woman lurking in the stacks who bears a striking resemblance to Sandee Brisbane -- the Sandee Brisbane who killed Goldy's ex-husband, the Jerk. But Sandee is supposed to be dead. Or so everyone believes.

Goldy's suspicions mount when the body of Drew Wellington, a former district attorney, is found in a corner of the library with a map worth thousands of dollars stashed in his clothing. She's convinced that Sandee is involved.

But the holiday madness is only just beginning for Goldy. Soon she's drawn into the dangerous, double-crossing world of high-end map dealing. And like the ghost of Christmas past, Sandee keeps making an appearance. Could she be out to prove that revenge is sweet?

Customer Review:
Love the series, but....

I think it really *is* time for Goldy to develop more, or take a trip somewhere, or solve a murder that doesn't involve her ex-husband or someone who knew him. I have hugely enjoyed the series, but this book did seem tired- full of recap, as one reviewer noted. Also, I found it pretty unbelievable, even for fun fiction murder, that a woman who wrecked a car, fell in a creek and was attacked and nearly suffocated all in one day would still get up and go to work in the morning (after a steamy shower with her husband, no less).



I love the cooking; I think the author is a great story-teller, but wouldn't you just love to see Goldy grow up a little? Or change? Or have something different in her life? Most of us do face change and challenges eventually. I keep thinking she and Tom need to have a baby or Marla needs to remarry or Julian open a new restaurant or SOMETHING. It feels like this book was the same as the last one... too bad, because Goldy is a lot of fun.


Customer Review: Rosenblat rocks!

Barbara Rosenblat rocks reading this most recent course in the "Goldie the caterer" series of Colorado Rocky Mountain (sugar) Highs, culinary delights, and cozy murders. Rosenblat even reads the included recipes with an enthusiasm and inflection that would process Julia Child into a Pavlovian canine (or maybe I've just been reviewing too many diet books lately ;-)



This entree in the Diane Mott Davidson oeuvre mixes in morsels from former capers, so you might want to enjoy those first, if you haven't already.
