3.0 out of 5 stars A dark entry in the Goldy series, 26 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Main Corpse (Culinary Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
A dreary and somewhat depressing book, without the fun sparkle of other books in the series. Even "The Last Suppers", where Goldy's groom is abducted minutes before their wedding is more cheery than this book.

Perhaps the constant rain and gloom depicted in the story just pervaded the feel of this book. Goldy's best friend, Marla, is accused of murdering her boyfriend and his business partner, because she'd lost so much money in their financial investments. It's up to Goldy, The General, Arch and his new dog Jake the Bloodhound to prove the charge wrong.

Not a bad book, but not quite up to the fun of the other Goldy mysteries. The recipes are wonderful as always, and I can't wait until strawberry season so that I can try the Sugar-snap pea and Strawberry salad.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read, 2 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Main Corpse (Culinary Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
I thought this was the best Goldy Bear Schultz book so far. It was more entertaining and exciting than some of Davidson's earlier books (The Last Suppers and Dying for Chocolate). I liked the addition of Jake, the retired bloodhound. Although some parts of book, such as the staged accident were a little unbelievable, it was still very enjoyable read. It was also kind of a relief that no one died at one of her catered events--Goldy was probably losing business due to unexpected deaths of party guests.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky book, mystery & recipes!, 10 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Main Corpse (Culinary Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Both my passions in one place, cooking and murder. Story line may be a little unbelievable, but works for me. Recipes are worth keeping and don't detract from the mystery at hand.

This is a very disappointing entry in the Goldy series. Ms. Davidson has written a plot that stains credulity. Read more

I'm a big fan of Ms. Davidson's books. Next to DYING FOR CHOCOLATE this is my favorite. I missed Goldy's previous helper Julian, but Macquire Perkins is a good new addition. Read more
