High tea has again been served., Mars 17 2002
Par Un client
I always find it fun to read on Amazon.com what others have to say about the books I like to read. Interesting and quite valid points usually get made somewhere in the process. ... If there was ever a professional victim, Scarpetta is it. And what teen-ager has never acted at one point like a brat? At least Arch has the potential of growing out of it. Some teens never do. And as I recall Ramses Emerson in Elizabeth Peters' Peabody series is a rather precocious fellow. In comparion to other mysteries (Dr. Gidion Fell, for instance) Davidson's is rather lite reading. Read it for fun like I do. It is considerably better than Tamar Myers Pennsylvania Dutch series. Magdalena Yoder is totally off base to begin with. She makes Goldy look only slightly neurotic. I enjoyed this novel. Like her other novels in this series you have to read this one every day until you finish it in order to keep the train of thought. As long as you do that you will do well with it. Davidson hasn't quite noticeably slipped yet.

Sticks and Scones, Nov. 20 2001
This is the 10 book in a series and I'm not bored yet. Diane Mott Davidson is a truly good writer. I feel as though I know the characters and care about them. The descriptions are accurate. Fun to read.

If you can't stand the heat...., Oct. 12 2001
If you can't stand the heat...leave the kitchen and go curl up with Goldy's latest escapade. I've read every one of Davidson's culinary mysteries and I can't get enough. Those reader's who just jump in in the middle or who start with this book may not fully understand the dynamic between the characters (hence another reviewer's mistaken assertion that Davidson is a man-hater). If you've followed along with Goldy Bear Shulz you know that she is a kind and giving woman who, if anything, is entirely tooo forgiving of that Jerk of an ex-husband. I not only recommend Sticks and Scones, I thoroughly recommend that you read ALL of Davidsons books. They're better than dessert!

A Recipe for Success, Sep 15 2001
Diane Mott Davidson takes her formula cozy and adds some wickedly clever ingredients. Yes, they are lighthearted, far fetched - and absolutely delicious. Goldy Bear Schultz, caterer extraordinaire, starts her morning with a bang ... and then proceeds to have the worst couple of days anyone could fathom. The writer gets the Testy Teen just right (again) as well as the dinner and particularly the scones. This tale also provides a dollop of stamp collecting, a couple of cups of Elizabethan England, garnished with a lovely castle, a luscious labyrinth and some truly tangy individuals - not to mention a pinch or two of morality and romance. The pace is fast, but I did miss Marla who is very much in the background, as well as a trip to church with Goldy. Somehow Ms. Davidson manages to whip up an unexpected variety of ingredients and come out with a scrumptious culinary cozy.

One of my favorites, Sep 5 2001
This author is one of my favorites. I found this book to be one of the best books yet by her. I like the stories although they sometimes get a little bit depressing. Sometimes it seems that everything happens all at once to this poor caterer Goldy: death and murder, grouchy son, business in trouble etc. However, it all seems to even out in the end. I also like the recipes. I would suggest all of her books.

Keep 'em coming Diane!, Juil 8 2001
I loved this one, as I have loved all the books in this series. Harriet Klausner is my favorite reviewer, and if she likes a book, I know I will too. I'm glad I disregarded the surprisingly negative reviews about this book and went with her again. I totally enjoyed it. The danger was higher this go around - with many twists of the story teasing my assumptions about 'who done it?' - I'm looking forward to the next adventure with Goldy!

Another winner for Davidson!, Jui 27 2001
I just love these books. They deal with my two favorite things. Mysteries & FOOD! I am always hungry when I'm listening to them! Have a snack nearby! Cherry Jones makes a good Goldy! When is the next one??

Great as Usual, Mai 23 2001
Par Un client
I just finished reading this book and it was wonderful. It was very hard to put down and it had a wonderful ending. Goldy gets herself in all kinds of trouble as usual. The recipes were wonderful. This book was one of her best.

terrific culinary mystery!, Avril 16 2001
If you aren't familiar with Diane Mott Davidson's wonderful culinary mystery series starring Goldy, the catering amateur sleuth, this is a great book to get you hooked! The novel boasts a wonderful locale (an English castle which has been transported and re-assembled in Aspen Meadow, CO), a clever mystery with lots of twists and turns, and numerous mouth-watering recipes created by Goldy and her assitant--budding vegetarian chef Julian Teller. I can't recommend this book highly enough to keep you entertained. You'll be torn between wanting to finish the book and running to your kitchen to re-create the terrific recipes. Davidson creates a wonderful story involving a colorful cast of characters. It's a terrific, fun read.
