Catering to Nobody
Book - 2002
Even though working a wake isn&;t Goldy Bear&;s idea of fun, the Colorado caterer throws herself into preparing a savory feast featuring Poached Salmon and Strawberry Shortcake Buffet designed to soothe forty mourners. Her culinary efforts seem to be exactly what the doctor ordered . . . until her former father-in-law, gynecologist Fritz Korman, is struck down&;and Goldy is accused of adding poison to the menu. Now, with the Department of Health impounding her leftovers, her ex-husband trashing her name, and her business close to being shut down, Goldy knows she can&;t wait for the police to serve up answers. She soon uncovers more than one skeleton in the closet, along with a veritable slew of unpalatable secrets&;the kind that could make Goldy the main course in an unsavory killer&;s next murder.

Add a CommentThe story wasn't bad, but the main character, Goldy, was really too much of a super-woman. She was constantly busy working, hosting friends, taking care of her family or investigating a murder. She really was unrealistic with the amount of action the author gave her.
My biggest complaint is I feel the author used her book as a platform (albeit not in a big way) to express her political and moral views. She sounded very liberal, which for some of us conservatives is disappointing when you want to read fiction to step away from politics.
