Search - Sweet Revenge (Goldy Schulz, Bk 14)

The latest in the Goldy Bear series. This is another really good book in the series. All the characters are back and of course Goldy is at the wrong place at the wrong time when it comes to discovering the body. I know she has gotten herself into some tough spots in the past, but I really can't remember another book in which she has quite this much trouble! Suspensful all the way, and I did not know "who did it". Great addition to the series!

This is the latest in the Goldy Schulz books, the caterer who manages to find dead bodies. This book was a little dull and a bit confusing about the characters. There are some wonderful recipes included, as usual, and the murderer in this book surprised me - a person who let greed get the better of him/her.

I have read a number of Diane Davidson books, and I liked this one just as much as I liked the others. The storyline kept me interested and the action continued throughout the book. (I have read other mystery series where the characters and the plots just ran out of steam and I couldn't finish the book without a struggle. But that is not the case here). Pretty good for being the 14th book in the series.

I USED to love this series. But this book just didn't do it for me. To me Goldy Schultz came off as an incompetent, fumbling, nosy whiny brat. She steals cars, wrecks cars and tears up mink coats, sneaks around crime scenes and one day gets beaten up, falls down a ravine into a stream and crashes her friend's Lexus and has someone chop her hair off. Three different incidents. Less than 2 days. And her husband is a sheriff? I'd arrest her in a heartbeat for meddling, tampering with evidence at various crime scenes and plain old annoyingness. Her motivations for doing this were so weak, "I was MAD!" There were too many ex wives, molested kids, map collectors (I mean who really gives a rat's behind about map stealing?), and I had trouble keeping them straight. Probably I just didn't care to. I'll probably never read another in this series.
PS: It was so bad that it turns out I'd read this book 2 years ago and coudn't remember much about it. As I read I kept having deja vu. So I tortured myself twice. Maybe I should be arrested for stupidity.

Goldy does it again! Another fast and fun-reading book about adventures with Goldy and her family. If you want a fun, clean and upbeat reading, this book has it all!
