4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun introduction to culinary whodunit.,
By
This review is from: Catering to Nobody (Goldy, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
This was a a light, entertaining book and and fun murder mystery. The first book in the series, we are introduced to Goldy Bear (Whose real name is Gertrude Bear Korman). Goldy has started her own catering business, to support herself and her son, after divorcing her abusive ex husband. While catering a funeral, Goldy's ex father in law is poisoned, and Goldy's business is shut down. In order to clear her name and get her life back, Goldy decides to investigate the crime.Chock full of interesting characters, a possible love interest and as an added bonus, some terrific sounding recipes. I can't wait to move on to the next book in the series.

Read one and I was hooked. --,
By Ruth A. Caldwell "Highland Princess Mum" (Walnut Creek, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Catering to Nobody (Goldy, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
"Catering to Nobody" is the first delectable book in this culinary mystery series full of crazy, different characters.Lightly entertaining, and a good murder mystery Davidson's witty writing and clever clues combine with some yummy recipes along the way to solving this short, fun mystery. Goldy is a former battered wife who has finally divorced her abusive doctor husband and strikes out to support herself and her pre-teen son by starting an upscale catering company. Handsome police officer Tom Schultz adds another delicious dimension to the story. If you enjoy Grafton, Evanovich, and Tamar Myers (my other favorite mystery authors who write about 'real' people) you'll enjoy Goldy's sleuthing attempts to determine 1)who keeps trying to poison her lovable (?) ex-father-in-law, 2)who murdered her son's lovely, yet peculiar prior elementary school teacher and (deep breath) 3)WHY does everyone seem to know more about the entire mystery than Goldy? Most mysterious of all her books I've read to date! Excellent.

Take a bite out of this one,
By "dar934" (PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Catering to Nobody (Culinary Mysteries With Recipes) (Audio Cassette)
Catering to Nobody is the first novel written by Diane Mott Davidson and I think it is a winner. A "taste" of the story goes like this. Goldy is catering a wake for her sons ex-teacher and her father-in-law is slipped rat poison in his coffee. Until the culprit is found Goldy must close down her business so she talks the detective in charge (who just happens to take a liking to Goldy) to let her do some snooping. She finds out things about her family and friends that she never knew and figures out who the criminal really is just in the nick of time. This is a witty mystery with some nice recipes along the way.
