What a disappointment, Mai 13 2001
Par Un client
This book does not live up to the standards set by the previous Goldy mysteries. They each behave as no reasonable person would...a caterer calling her client at 6 a.m. to say we're moving in? A wife leaving her shot and recuperating husband alone all day while she's out looking for clues? This book is full of such nonsense it makes us not care a bit about how it all turns out.

REALLY, REALLY BAD!, Mai 7 2001
I am not a "professional" reviewer, but I could not agree more with the generalizations about this book. It was simply horrendous. I have read all of Diane Mott Davidson's amusing and charming mysteries. This one must have been penned by someone else. There is not one redeeming quality. To attempt to summarize the plot would be futile because there is very little plot, no character development, no likeable characters and few, if any, surprises. Don't waste your time nor your money on this. Even the recipes are not as appealing as past offerings. Definitely read at your own risk!

IS IT TIME TO RETIRE GOLDY?, Avril 23 2001
"Sticks and Scones" is a major disappointment in light of the earlier efforts by Ms. Davidson. Goldy is back, and unfortunately, so is her ridiculously cartoonish ex-husband, John Norman, and her increasingly annoying fourteen year old son, Arch. Her usually enjoyable husband, Tom, is merely a plot device in this one, and none of his usual charm and security is evidenced. I don't know why Davidson had to give Tom an ex-lover mysteriously returned from the dead, and if Goldy really loved Tom as much as she says, how could she doubt him on such little evidence? The murders in this book are so under-written that you find yourself not really caring if they are caught, and when the culprit is revealed, I found myself saying, "Big deal...who else could it have been?" And as for the recipes, which once were novel and entertaining, they are now merely interruptions in the plot. And, besides, who would really eat this kind of "snobbish" food? Let's have some good basic recipes, or better yet, why don't we retire Goldy from the catering business. Let her go nuts and shoot and kill her ex-husband, send Arch off to a disciplinary boarding school and she, Tom and Marla can open their own detective agency. It's sad to see a good series start to fail so miserably as in "Sticks and Scones."

Puhleeeeeeeeease . . ., Avril 16 2001
Love the recipes. Hate the ex-husband. This woman is getting like Jessica Fletcher -- you don't want her to visit because somebody is gonna die. Her front window is shot out. Her car window is shot out. Her son is still fragile and whiney. The ex-husband is at it again. Now there is a mysterious ex-girlfriend of the new husband. Julian, the vegan-chef-in-training, to the rescue. How much more can a person take? Now, the stamp thing was interesting, but that's about it.
