Product Description

Product Description

Meet Goldy Bear, a caterer with more than just the dirty dishes to worry about! She's bright, opinionated and wildly inventive cook with a personal life that is a recipe for disaster. Threats from her abusive ex-husband and mounting bills force Goldy to take control of her life - so she accepts a job as a live-in-chef looking after the cream of Aspen Meadow's society. But as it starts to look as though things are on the up for Goldy, her boyfriend Philip is killed in a car crash. Traumatised by witnessing the fatal accident, Goldy is shocked even further when she is attacked by an unknown assailant. Why is she being threatened? What is the mystery surrounding Philip's death? Aspen Meadow's favourite caterer investigates as she works - sharing both her findings and her recipes. If you've got an appetite for mystery you'll love this bestselling US series. A gripping plot is combined with eleven original and delicious recipes - Dying for Chocolate is the perfect blend of sumptuous fare and first class suspense.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Everything is just right" with Dying for Chocolate, 24 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Dying for Chocolate (Culinary Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Ms. Davidson continues her pace with her second Goldy Bear mystery novel. What comes across most plainly in that her characters act like real people, not cardboard figures. As for the mystery, neither I nor my wife had any idea whodunit until she revealed it at the end. And like many others of her readers, we are beginning to try out her recipes--and they are worth the effort as well!

4.0 out of 5 stars If you like suspense this book is for you., 22 Oct 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Dying for Chocolate (Culinary Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
Dying for Chocolate is based in Evergreen Co. Most of the story takes place in a high class neiborhood in the middle of the summer. The main character is local caterer Goldy Bear. She has a curious investigative personality, for searching for the truth. The story begins with a gruesome murder. The victim was a close friend of Goldy's and one she cared for. Goldy is determined to find the killer. As the story unravels she gets pulled more and more into the case. She ends up doing some things that could her and her beloved son killed. This is a great suspense story, some of the parts I couldn't stop reading and put the book down. The reason I said "Some parts" was because the middle got really dull and I had to push myself to finish. This is also the reason I took 2 points of the rating. Otherwise I loved the book recomened this book to almost everybody. I have to say the thing I liked most was that Davidson's books are so real. All of her story events are things that could happen in real life.

5.0 out of 5 stars YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM, 5 Nov 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Dying for Chocolate (Culinary Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is another wonderful book by Ms. Davidson! oldie Bear is at it again in a wonderful new mystery. Again she has created delicious character and even better recipes in Dying for Chocolate. She has a very good handle on how teenagers act and how young men come in to adolescence. There is a plethora of new recipes to try.(Scout's brownies and the Lethal Bars are wonderful)A definite must read if your into cooking and mysteries!
