Barbara S. (barbsis) -
This is one of those books that takes a while to figure out who's who. As it is book 7 in the series and I haven't read the previous 6 books, I'm sure that my confusion wouldn't be an issue for someone whose read the previous installments. Anyway...
Caterer Goldy Schulz spends most of the book (when she isn't investigating Suz Craig's murder) cooking foods that made my mouth water. The mystery here is who killed Suz Craig, Goldy's ex-husband, John Richard Korman's current girlfriend. Goldy's current husband, Tom Schulz is the cop who arrested John Richard. John Richard's second ex-wife, Marla is Goldy's best friend and plays a blabber-mouth role in this one - egging Goldy on with ridiculous suggestions. Boy did I want to tell her to shut up!
Of course Goldy would like nothing better to see wife-beater John Richard in prison for the murder but their 14 year old son, Arch begs her to help his father. So she butts in where she isn't wanted and nearly gets herself killed all in the hopes of placating her son.
It's kind of a screwy story but it eventually makes sense and is rather enjoyable. I just may have to add this series to my every growing list of must reads.

As usual, Goldy is a very funny sleuth!
