Thanks to her recent adventures in Dying for Chocolate, Goldy Bear, the premier caterer of Aspen Meadow, Colorado, is no stranger to violence--or sudden death. But when she agrees to cater the first College Advisory Dinner for Seniors and Parents at the exclusive Elk Park Preparatory School, the last thing she expects to find at the end of the evening is the battered body of the school valedictorian.
Who could have killed Keith Andrews, and why? Goldy's hungry for some answers--and not just because she found the corpse. Her young son, Arch, a student at Elk Park Prep, has become a target for some not-so-funny pranks, while her eighteen-year-old live-in helper, Julian, has become a prime suspect in the Andrews boy's murder.
As her investigation intensifies, Goldy's anxiety level rises faster than homemade donuts. . .as she turns up evidence that suggests that Keith knew more than enough to blow the lid off some very unscholarly secrets. And then, as her search rattles one skeleton too many, Goldy learns a crucial fact: a little knowledge about a killer can be a deadly thing.

I love this series about a woman that owns a catering business in a small town and keeps falling over dead bodies.

I just can't get into this author....Her storyline is hard to follow and boring.

Davidson's book are always a fun read. In this installment, the stress of competition among the seniors at Elk Park Prep's college advisory class leads to murder and mayhem. Goldy discovers a body at her first catering job for the school and the adventure goes from there!

This one wasn't one of my favorites. The clues are there, but you have to really think about it to pick up on them. It's an okay read.

I do enjoy the Goldie novels from time to time....they aren't my favorite, but they do pass the time in between other books.

Enjoyed this one and especially some of the recipes throughout the book. As light reading it works, but I relly would read one of her books again only if I ran out of all other reading materials.

A Culinary Mystery. Davidson is called "A cross between Mary Higgins Clark and Betty Crocker." This includes original recipes for Sugar Plum Cake, Red 'n' White Cookies, and Nachos Schulz among others. Goldy Bear is the premier caterer of Aspen Meadow, Colorado. "But when she agrees to cater the first College Advisory Dinner for Seniors and Parents at the exclusive Elk Park Preparatory School, the last thing she expects to find at the end of the evening is the battered body of the school valedictorian."

A culinary cozy more hard-boiled than some. Goldy and Co. are always entertaining.
