  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;The Caterer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meet Goldy Bear: a bright, opinionated, wildly inventive caterer whose  personal life has become a recipe for disaster. She's got  an abusive ex-husband who's into making tasteless threats, a rash of mounting bills that are taking a huge bite out of her budget, and two enticing  men knocking on her door.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Dish&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Now determined to take control of her life, Goldy  moves her business and her son to ritzy Aspen  Meadow Country Club, where she accepts a job as a  live-in cook. But just as she's beginning to think  she's got it made--catering decadent dinners and  posh society picnics and enjoying the favors of  Philip Miller, a handsome local shrink, and Tom Schulz,  her more-than-friendly neighborhood cop--the  dishy doctor inexplicably drives his  BMW into an oncoming bus.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Unsavory  Killer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Convinced that Philip's bizarre  death was no accident, Goldy decides to do a little  investigating of her own. But sifting through the  unpalatable secrets of the dead doc's life will  toss her into a case seasoned with unexpected danger  and even more unexpected revelations--the kind that could get a caterer and the son she loves...killed.</default_description>

Just read the description listed under book info and you can see why. 1) The main character's name is Goldy Bear, a caterer &quot;whose personal life has become a recipe for disaster.&quot; It's not-so-clever puns like that one that make me want to slap authors.

It was much better than the first of the series, as it not nearly as full of the heavy history of her abusive husband.  (He played only a minimal part in the story this time.)

    <body><![CDATA[This book is the first I've read from the Goldy Bear series. I seriously think and believe that this can be read even without reading the first book, since it gives you an idea of how such things came to such, and such.<br/><br/>As another murder/culinary mystery book I've read, I can say that this ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50782330">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought I was in the mood for a little light reading, but ended up missing my &quot;heavier&quot; books where language delights, and plots are not painfully contrived. On the other hand, there are the recipes. Hard to completely dislike a book where you can vicariously enjoy that much cream cheese...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45614931">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interested in dipping into the &quot;culinary mystery&quot; world, this was my first pick.  It is what it is...not brain-draining but just an easy mystery read related to my favorite topic---food.  Would definitely give another one a try...although another author may be worth a look since this is a ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61924618">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Fleeing her abusive ex, Goldy takes a live-in chef position in the Aspen Meadows Country Club area.  Trouble follows her and the bodies accumulate as usual.  The characters of Tom Schulz and Julian are introduced.  Usual fun quick read with a high body count, but not predictable. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of my least favorites of this series given that the crime seems unusually unlikely and the author presents psychologists in particularly unflattering light.  I read it again recently and have concluded this one is destined to sold (though I doubt I'd get a good price for it). ]]></body>
