The Whole Enchilada (Goldy Schulz)

by Diane Mott Davidson

"Goldy Schulz knows her food is to die for, but she never expects one of her best friends to actually keel over when she's leaving a birthday party Goldy has catered. At first, everyone assumes that all the fun and excitement of the party, not to mention the rich fare, did her in. But what looks like a coronary turns out to be a generous serving of cold-blooded murder. And the clever culprit is just getting cooking. When a colleague-- a woman who resembles Goldy-- is stabbed, and Goldy is attacked outside her house, it becomes clear that the popular caterer is the main course on a killer menu. With time running out, Goldy must roll up her sleeves, sharpen her knives, and make a meal out of a devious murderer, before that killer can serve her up cold" -- from publisher's web page.

I'm not sure this was the best plot, but I can't help but love the characters. This is the first Goldy book I've read (rather than listened to) and it definitely gave a different feel. I much prefer listening to the audio versions.

I liked this one a lot better than the last few Goldy books, although I thought there were elements that were used in previous books. All that aside, I thought the mystery was well done, and I'm glad Arch is becoming less of a whiny PITA, in fact he was barely in this book. Also, I thought the prologue wasn't necessary and read more like the teaser blurb you get when you download a sample of a book.

Anyone else get the feeling this was a good-bye book? The epilogue made it sound like the series was being wrapped up, but maybe that's just me.
