Apparently I missed the first book in this series, so it will be interesting to see if it makes a difference in reading this one, which I picked up at a library exchange shelf.

This book will be going to the winner of the Smile Day RABCK. Plan to mail it out on the 1st of May.

Thanks for the RABCK.

I'm putting this book in Tribefan's ABC bookbox.

THE CATERER
Meet Goldy Bear: a bright, opinioned, wildly inventive caterer whose personal life has become a recipe for disaster. She's got an abusive ex-husband who's into making tasteless threats, a rash of mounting bills that are taking a huge bite out of her budget, and two enticing men knocking on her door.
THE DISH
Now, determined to tale control of her life, Goldy, moves her business and her son to ritzy Aspen Meadow Country Club, where she accepts a job as a live-in-cook. But just as she's beginning to think she's got it made---catering decadent dinners and posh socity picnics and enjoyint the favors of Philip Miller, a handsom local shrink, and Tom Shultz, her more-than-friendly neighborhood cop---the dishy doctor inexplicably drives his BMW into an oncoming bus.
THE UNSAVORY KILLER
convinced that Philip's, bizarre death was no accident, Goldy decides to do a little investigateing of her own. But sifting through the unpalatable secrets of the dead doc's life will toss her into a chase seasoned with unexpected danger and even more unexpected revelations---the kind that could get a caterer and the son she loves...killed.

Going to put this book into mystery suspence book box!

Tnx so much for the mystery book bundle. I had forgotten that I had entered the competition lol.

I really liked some of the recipes in this book and intend to make 2 of them. The writer tends to be too descriptive about sunsets, landscapes etc. I like my mysteries full of murder and suspense. This book leaves the reader wanting more.

The following review is from Publishers Weekly:

n this perky mystery complete with toothsome hi-cal recipes, Davidson ( Catering to Nobody ) brings back Goldy Bear, the cherubic culinary sleuth with Shirley Temple curls. Fleeing her abusive ex-spouse, a physician she dubs "The Jerk," Goldy and her teenage son Arch find a snug third-floor refuge in the Aspen Meadow, Colo., mansion of quirky Gen. Bo Farquhar, a retired munitions and terrorist pro who breezily detonates bombs while gardening and bird-watching. As the general's live-in gourmet cook, Goldly still has time to run Goldilocks' Catering and juggle two suitors--attractive psychiatrist Philip Miller and comfortably chubby cop Tom Schultz. Philip's shocking death--he careens off a cliff in a BMW after munching her brunch--casts suspicion on Goldy. Which of her foes might want to frame her? And who is the critic writing vicious reviews of her cooking in the Mountain Journal ? The plot spins along in good-humored fashion, while Goldy continues to whip up goodies for events like a disastrous "aphrodisiac dinner" for eight and a barbecue at which her luscious dessert smashes on the floor. When Arch vanishes, Goldly panics, but the author makes sure that all enigmas wind up in solutions that will surprise and please.
