Davidson serves up another literary trifle

After 14 books, Diane Mott Davidson's Aspen Meadows is starting to look like Colorado's answer to Cabot Cove.

This isn't to say that I didn't enjoy "Sweet Revenge" or its 13 predecessors. Davidson's culinary capers are the cotton candy of the mystery world -- fluffy, fun and light on substance. Just the way I like my murder mysteries. The pun-tastic titles and the whimsically named dishes (complete with recipes!) are enough to keep me entertained.

But the shtick is starting to wear thin. How many dead bodies does caterer Goldy Schulz need to discover before she decides it might be safer to live in Detroit or St. Louis?

Great Cozy Mystery Book

I love Diane Mott Davidson character, Goldy, and this is another great book. Never a dull moment. Would recommend to a friend who likes light mysteries.

Sweet Revenge a Goldy Culinary Mystery

The Goldy Culinary Mysteries are always entertaining and hard to put down. A real plus are the recipes at the end of the book. I've tried several of them and was well pleased with the results.

A step down from Dark Tort

I concur with most of the disappointed readers. I have read all the books of the series, most of which I could not put down, but this is slow, plodding.
I do think that it's never a good sign when you resurrect a character (Dallas, anyone?) AND I missed the separated sheets with the recipes, which in this case are interspersed in the narration. (What is with all the "'Cuz", btw??).
The plot is confused, the murders do not make sense, too many ingredients in this soup: it all seems contrived. There are some good moments, but, while I don't want the Goldy series to end, I would like it to return to its previous, very enjoyable standards.
