From the beginning this was a bit too cutesy for me. The first person narrator and protagonist, "Goldy Bear" is a caterer in Aspen Meadow, Colorado, and her motto is "just right." At regular intervals we get complete recipes like "Dungeon Bars" and "Wild Man Wild Rice." Also, the romantic interest...

The first in the Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery series, "Catering to Nobody" starts off with a death, a suicide to be exact - or is it? Then an incident happens that ends up shutting down Goldy Bear's business until things are straightened out, but Goldy isn't waiting around for the police - she needs ...

Having only read later volumes in this series it was strange to finally read the 1st one. Enjoy this author but not sure if I would have read more if I had read this one 1st.

Too cold then too hot but Catering to Nobody was never just right. Odd is what it was. In fact, the oddest book I’ve read in quite a while and my tenacity to see if it became a better book along with it being the current selection for my face-to-face mystery group compelled me to read just another...

This one is a mix bag. I loved the plot but hated the "dated" feel of it. Unlike Sayers' universe set in her time or close to it, Davidson's early 90's setting just feels phony and out of place. I won't start on the whole abusive ex-husband, wife beater, jerk and weasel. How can the main character l...
