    About this audiobook

    “Today’s foremost practitioner of the culinary whodunit.”
    —Entertainment Weekly

    “In the genre of culinary mystery writers, Davidson is a Julia Child among Betty Crockers, and there is no question that Double Shot is her best book.”
    —Denver Post

    New York Times bestseller Diane Mott Davidson is the darling of cozy mystery readers and dedicated foodies the world over. Davidson is really cooking with Double Shot, another tantalizing puzzle featuring her beloved protagonist, accomplished caterer and sleuth Goldy Schulz. Whipping up a rich soufflé of murder and mischief, Davidson has Goldy in a stew once again, when the reemergence of her psychopathic ex-husband and a murder that follows soon after brings chaos into her world. And, as always, many delicious recipes from Goldy’s kitchen are featured as well.

      Double Shot. Diane Mott Davidson. 2004. Haven’t read one of these light delightful novels in years. Goldy Schulz is a caterer, married to a policeman who manages to solve mysteries while cooking up delicious-sounding recipes! In this one her ex has been killed and she’s being questioned as a suspect so she and her zany friend also an ex of the ex decide to find out who really killed him. Recipes are included in the back of the book. These books make you hungry!
    • 3/5
      This was a so-so read. It read like an abridged book (which it was), meaning I had a little trouble keeping track of the characters and the transitions were a little abrupt. The story itself was decent enough, the writing was okay. I may have enjoyed this more had it not been abridged.
    • 3/5
      Previously, have always read these from the library; this is the first one I've owned. Have never yet bothered to make any of the recipes. Because of developments in the sleuth's personal life, am looking forward to the next one!
    • 3/5
      Enjoy this character, love hearing about cooking/recipes
    • 5/5
      I went away from this series for a while, because the constant bullying from Goldy's ex got to be too much. If you feel the same, read this book! You'll be satisfied, and now I intend to go on and read the series again!There has never been any doubt that Davidson is a terrific writer, but the gloom and doom got depressing. With this book, she's back to form.
    • 4/5
      Latest in a great series featuring caterer Goldie Shultz. Well written and fun, with a sense of danger.
    • 4/5
      This is a game-changer book., so it's a don't miss this one in the Goldy series. Of course, as usual, I was irritated by the way she molly coddles that son of her's and puts up with stuff that makes me wonder. Anyway, I know to expect that and it's why her book series will probably never get 5 stars from me.Other than that, it's a great story with plenty of the characters we love to read about in a cozy mystery.
    • 5/5
      This book had a twist in it that was expected to happen at some time and the time fast and was spelling binding. Anyone who has read the books with Goldy will understand!
    • 5/5
      Another hit in the Goldy Bear series! This book had a delicious story line as well as recipies. A must read.
    • 4/5
      Finally happens.. and that's all I'll say so I don't spoil it for the rest of you. Not sure it's her best, but one of the top ones. Plus.. I think I made every recipe in the book. Certainly TASTED like her best.

      When caterer Goldy Schulz is attacked and her food deliberately spoiled while catering a funeral lunch, she suspects her attacker was her ex-husband, Dr. John Richard Korman, who was recently released from jail. While Goldy is concerned that someone is trying to sabotage her business, she is also worried about her husband, Tom, who has been depressed ever since he lost a case and a guilty defendant was let free. And then there is health inspector Roger Mannis who is making Goldy's life very difficult by doing his best to find health violations while she is catering. Goldy soon has bigger worries when she discovers the body of someone who was murdered and she becomes the chief suspect when the police think her gun was used in the murder. Goldy realizes she is being framed and tries to figure out who the real murderer is from a long list of suspects. While she is trying to save her business and investigate the murder, Goldy is dealing with problems with her son, Arch. Not only does he blame her for the murder, but it's clear he's keeping secrets from her. Goldy certainly has a lot on her plate. "Double Shot" is a well done mystery. The murder in the book takes the series in a direction that could have hurt the series but instead makes it stronger. The book has some memorable characters, including Sandee, John Korman's latest girlfriend, and Brewster Motley, the attorney defending Goldy, who looks more like a surfer than an attorney. Author Diane Mott Davidson works the catering aspects seamlessly into the story and I liked the fact that Goldy's cooking isn't always perfect. The fact that she burns some fruit pies makes her more of a real character. The mystery itself is well plotted, with plenty of suspects. The motive for the murder is a sad one and readers may sympathize more with the murderer than the victim. Most of the plot lines are neatly wrapped up at the end and things that I didn't think were related to the plot, like out of control forest fires, actually turn out to be very important rather than mere filler. One of the plot lines is deliberately left vague, which may frustrate some readers, but I liked it. However, there were a couple of things I didn't like about the book. I found it hard to believe that Goldy didn't lose any of her customers while a murder suspect. And at the end of the book, Goldy has a new enemy who no doubt will be featured in future books. It would be nice if Goldy had some personal peace in at least one book, but that's probably not going to happen. "Double Shot" is a good mystery.

      Another in the Goldie's series and a fast read. Goldie's ex-husband is murdered and she's framed for his murder.
