The divine diva of the culinary cozy returns with a crime novel thatwill have fans of Goldy Bear Schulz, caterer and caffeinated sleuth,cheering as they race for the nearest pastry shop. The 12th carb-ladeninstallment of Goldy's adventures (Chopping Spree, etc.) offersas its main course a toothsome corpse –du jour. [...] After Goldy arrives at her new cateringcenter to prepare for a memorial luncheon, she's attacked; when shecomes to, she discovers that her kitchen is full of spoiled food andoverrun with mice. She immediately suspects her longtime nemesisKorman, who's out of prison after serving less than a year foraggravated assault and living lavishly in Aspen Meadows with SandeeBlue, his "fifty-fourth conquest"—a young stripper, according tohis other ex, Marla, Goldy's entertaining sidekick. [...] Her latest noir-flavoredcozy may attract new readers to a sleuth who feverishly cooks throughany crisis and whose recipes are now gathered at the back of thebook.

From AudioFile

Goldy, of Goldy Bear Catering--"Where everything is just right"--learns that her abusive ex, John Richard Korman, a.k.a. "the Jerk," has just been released from serving time for aggravated assault. Several violent attacks later, Goldy believes that John Richard is to blame... Barbara Rosenblat's performance is as delicious as the usual medley of mouth-watering recipes sprinkled liberally throughout Davidson's book. Rosenblat makes mincemeat of the catty Aspen Meadow's Christian women's group, whose buxom and brainless snow bunnies emerge as so much puff pastry. Her rendering of strippers, thugs, and twisted clerics adds just the right spice to Goldy's twelfth culinary adventure, guaranteeing that Davidson's recipe for murder and mayhem won't lose its appeal, even with the low-carb diet craze.

4.0 out of 5 stars Physical Abuse from John Richard Korman Ends!, Jul 16 2006
This review is from: Double Shot (Mass Market Paperback)
If you are like me, the main drawback of this wonderful series about Goldy Schultz has been the repeated violence that she has suffered at the hands of her ex-husband, Dr. John Richard Korman. Well, unless he comes back as a ghost, that problem is at an end because JRK (also known as the Jerk by his ex-wives and ex-girl friends -- some 50+ in number) is killed in this outing of the delightful culinary series. That's the good news.

The bad news is that Goldy is physically assaulted and injured in the book's opening in a way that suggests that this annoying part of the series (Goldy as punching bag) will continue in future books. I hope not. I realize that many women are physically abused by friends, lovers and spouses . . . but making that a major theme of a culinary mystery just doesn't make sense to me. I graded the book down one star for this continuing theme of gratuitous violence towards women.

This book has much to recommend it. The clues point in many different directions which makes the mystery hard to solve until just the last few pages. I don't remember a better mystery in the series. The book also has a lot of good police procedural and legal defense procedural parts in it that make it more realistic than many other books in the series.

The development of the relationships among Goldy, Tom and Arch is particularly delightful in the book. There's also the usual fun with Marla as sidekick.

The recipes are particularly appealing with strawberry pie, enchilada pie, almond cookies, chocolate cake, brownie points and two kinds of breads among the delights to drool over . . . and to cook up for yourself. Obviously, Goldy is still immune from the Atkins and the South Beach diets.

So unless you are too busy baking for the upcoming holidays, give yourself a treat and enjoy sipping Double Shot!
