This was a a light, entertaining book and and fun murder mystery. The first book in the series. Every once in a while, I love to just sit back with a short, fun mystery like this novel. Goldy, a single mom and caterer, finds herself in the middle of a sinister murder plot by catering a wake for one of her son's former teachers. Goldy knows all of the usual suspects, and the handsome sheriff can't help but ask Goldy for her help. This book is a lot of fun, and the recipes sound wonderful! The character of Goldy is a bit whiny at times, but I like the fact that she is plucky and determined to make a better life for herself and Arch. When she gets stressed she cooks, and many of her recipes are included in the book. The food is yummy and the mystery interesting.

Well enjoy the Foodie Rabck

3rd. of the books sent to me - how did you ever manage to find 3 novels with plots connected to food !!!. amazing - many thanks.

Congratulations on winning the International Sweepstakes.
I didn't have any books on your wishlist but this little book seemed to 'fit the bill'.
SO, hope you enjoy it & all the other lovely surprises coming your way.

Thank you so much for this book. It looks good.

And thanks for the lovely labels and stickers. One can never have too many!

It has taken a long time, but I've finally read this book. Lovely book, I really enjoyed it.

I absolutely loved reading this book. The ending was so unexpected. Really, really enjoyable.

This book will be travelling on from the annual meeting on the beach in Castricum, the Netherlands.

I picked this up from the 'recommended' (aanrader) shelf at the biggest Dutch BookCrossing meeting, on the beach at Castricum. I've just realised it will fit the Ulimate Challenge theme of clothes and jewellery in September, with an embedded 'ring' in the title.

I enjoyed this, but it left no lasting impression. I'm not sure it was meant to. Perusing a few other reviews, I discover it is a 'cosy mystery', so now I know what that means. I won't be actively avoiding other books in this series, but I won't be actively looking for them, either.

Random notes:
The Colorado Broncos were mentioned on page 48.
This book has passed through the hands of Oppem, a BookCrosser from the Pacific Northwest who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.
There was an unexpected suicide theme.
Archie is a Dungeons and Dragons fan.
I didn't realize the term 'helicopter mom' was so old, but it became popular in1990 when this book was written and I only heard about it later when my eldest was born and I was looking into parenting skills. (p.93)

Taken to the Dutch book week meeting in Oss.
This book has been released as part of the following BookCrossing challenges:
- The Ultimate Challenge - read and release books, with extra points for a monthly theme
- Reduce Mount TBR (To Be Read) - read and release books on the TBR list since before the end of 2015. My reading goal is 36 books.

Was still on the table at the end of the meeting. As there is not so much space for the books I took it along to release it.

It may be that I will read it first, but it could also be that I will release it soon in or around Wageningen where a lot of foreign students can be found ;)
