Goldy Culinary Mysteries, Book 11

By: Diane Mott Davidson

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

Her inventive recipe for mixing first-class suspense and five-star fare has made Diane Mott Davidson a favorite of mystery lovers and a mainstay on major bestseller lists across the country. Now she has prepared another irresistibly tempting tale spiced with mystery and mayhem …

For Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz, business isn’t just booming—it’s skyrocketing.

Her friend Marla is constantly warning her, “Success can kill you.” But Goldy doesn’t take the warning literally until her next booking: a cocktail party for the Westside Mall’s Elite Shoppers Club.

While setting up, Goldy is nearly run down by a truck with no intention of stopping. Then she finds an old friend in a pile of sale shoes—stabbed with one of Goldy’s new knives. Goldy must catch the real killer between whipping up Sweethearts’ Swedish Meatballs, Quiche Me Quick, and Diamond Lovers’ Hot Crab Dip. Why was the victim carrying a powerful narcotic? Who hired a private investigator shortly before the murder? Goldy’s gourmet instincts tell her the final course in this case will be a real killer.

Critic reviews

“Today’s foremost practitioner of the culinary whodunit.”—Entertainment Weekly

Love Diane Mott Davidson

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have listened to all of the Goldy series and many of them twice. This is one of my favorite series ever. My husband has listened to them and it is one of his favorites also.

What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?

Anything Barbara Rosenblat does is worth trying. She is the best narrator I have ever heard-and I listen to a lot!! I will sometimes choose an unknown author just because she is narrating.

Any additional comments?

Don't miss this series!

This Series Needs a New Narrator!

I am an ardent fan of this series, but more and more the narration by Ms. Rosenblat turns my interest away from the story and leaves me thinking how unsuited she is for Goldy’s voice. I don’t believe the author ever mentioned Goldy being a 4-pack per day smoker and while the main character is witty and sometimes wry, I find the narrator more in the area of bored sarcasm. Don’t get me wrong, Ms. Rosenblat has a terrific and memorable voice—I just don’t think it fits this series.

Love it!

Barbara Rosenblatt is my favorite narrator! To me, she is Goldy, and Marla and whoever else she portrays. I wish Diane Mott Davidson would publish another Goldy story soon. I can only recommend this series.
