Catering to Nobody (2002)
As I recently bought some new secondhand books in this series, and it has been years since I read some of the first books in this series, I decided to start reading them again from the first book. I did struggle a bit with liking this first book though. Goldy is a successful caterer, who has been...

Prime Cut (2000)
2/3/15 - 100% sure I've read this before, but I think it's been 12+ years since I read this series, so I thought I'd re-read at least this one before picking up the next book in the series to try to get myself familiar again with the characters.2/15/15 - It was kinda hard to try to start this ser...
The Cereal Murders (2010)
This is book nº 3 in the Goldy bear series. I read it almost 2 weeks ago and now I'm sure what to write about anymore.

The Whole Enchilada LP (2013)
I've read better, I've read worse. I get sick of the unrealistic male characters Davidson employs in this series, and I think their perfection detracts from all of her books. Julian and Tom are too much. I find myself groaning as they prepare one culinary masterpiece after another and dutifull...
The Whole Enchilada CD (2013)
Again, I read this a book on cd. I have grown accustomed to the reader and relate her voice to these characters. Alas, this is the second book I have read lately that does in a mainstay character. What a Peyton Place Aspen Meadows must be. Our deceased, Holly, has apparently had some sort of rela...

Crunch Time (2011)
I thought I loved this series. Until now. First, the book is way too long. My copy measured out at over 540 pages. Way too long for a cozy. Unfortunately, the reason for the length of the book is that it is SO convoluted. I had a terrible time following all the various plot-twists, sub-plots and ...
