About this audiobook

Celebrated for her unique blend of first-class suspense and five-star fare, Diane Mott Davidson has won scores of fans and earned a place on major bestseller lists across the country. Now she dishes up another dangerously tasty treat of murder and mystery.

For Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz, accepting a series of bookings at Hyde Castle is like a dream come true. It’s not every day that she gets to cook authentic Elizabethan fare—especially at a real castle that was brought over from England and reassembled stone by stone in Aspen Meadow. Goldy is determined that everything will go right—which is why, she figures later, everything went terribly wrong. It begins when a shotgun blast shatters her window. Then Goldy discovers a body lying in a nearby creek. And when shots ring out for the second time that day, someone Goldy loves is in the line of fire. Suddenly the last thing Goldy wants to think about is Shakespeare’s Steak Pie, 911 Chocolate Emergency Cookies, or Damson-in-Distress Plum Tart. Could one of her husband Tom’s police investigations have triggered a murder? Or was her violent, recently paroled ex responsible? With death peering around every corner, Goldy needs to cook up some crime-solving solutions—before the only dish that’s left on her menu ismurder.

    A good audiobook for commuting. I liked the castle location, and since I used to be a stamp collector, the stamps were an interesting addition to the story.

    This story starts with a bang when someone shoots a hole in Goldie's house during the night. She is about to begin a big catering event when she has to leave home with her son and flee to the client's home. Problem is, she's not sure that is safe either.I really didn't care for this book. The events seemed incredibly far-fetched to me and the author couldn't make them believable. I have the same problem with Goldie that I have with Amelia Peabody, I can't believe in them, their reactions, actions, behavior or thoughts. It all seems choppy and sensational to me. So, you might like this book, but it doesn't appeal to me.
