Product Description:

Goldy Schulz is thrilled to be catering a holiday breakfast feast for the staff of the Aspen Meadow Library. But little does she know that on the menu is a large helping of murder. While setting up at the library, Goldy spots a woman lurking in the stacks who bears a striking resemblance to Sandee Brisbane—the Sandee Brisbane who killed Goldy's ex-husband, the Jerk. But Sandee is supposed to be dead . . . or so everyone believes.

Goldy's suspicions mount when the body of Drew Wellington, a former district attorney, is found in a corner of the library, with a map worth thousands of dollars stashed in his clothing. Goldy is convinced that Sandee, a confessed felon, is involved. But the holiday madness is only just beginning for Goldy. Soon she's drawn into the dangerous, double-crossing world of high-end map dealing. And like the ghost of Christmas past, Sandee keeps making an appearance. Could she be out to prove that revenge is oh-so-sweet?

- Repetition
Being a loyal Goldy fan I must be honest and say this is the worst of the series. The chapters are repetitious. The details of the plot, and they are few and convoluted, are repeated over and over. It is written as if it took years to do and the author needed to remember were she left off. The chapters also did not flow. One chapter would end in mid thought and the next pick it up. There was no flow or continuity.

Don't get me wrong... I love Diane Mott Davidson's' previous Goldy books but this one was a bunch of fluff!

- Couldn't put it down
Another great book by Davidson as usual I couldn't put it down I had to get to the end to find out who the killer was.

This is a great mystery! Goldie Schulz, caterer, while setting up for a holiday breakfast at the library, sees a woman who had died in a forest fire several months earlier after she had confessed to committing a murder. Then there's the murder of a patron in the library; a former district attorney and map dealer who uses the library! Coincidentally or not so coincidentally, Goldie's catering a dinner for a very wealthy map collector and his wife at their estate home at the end of a very winding two lane mountain road. Going on!!!A fight between two dealers at the party of the map collector, another murder, Goldie is attacked by the 'dead' woman, Goldie is attacked by an unknown someone else, maps are discovered to have been stolen, and a final, very unexpected ending.

- Murder, catering, and Christmas
Goldy Schulz is a caterer in Colorado. With the holidays approaching, she has 25 parties to cater in December. Hermie MacArthur and her husband Smithfield, a map collector, are throwing two of those important events in the Aspen Meadow Regal Ridge Country Club.

About a month before, Goldy thought she saw a ghost in that she thought she saw Sandee Brisbane, the killer of her ex-husband, driving around time.

While getting ready to set up for the library breakfast the next morning, she and a library employee find former DA Drew Wellington murdered in a corner of the library.

Can Goldy complete all her catering jobs while doing some investigating of her own? Especially when she appears to be in the crosshairs of the killer.

I love this series, but ... Read More

- Other one-star and two-star reviewers are on target!
Like many of the other reviewers, I used to really enjoy these books, but they have taken a definite downward turn. They are packed with boring filler, inane comments and Goldy being proud of herself or speculating on what the men on her husband's police force really think of her. It has taken me months to read this one and there is no end in sight (though I've read several other books during this time). Might be time to hang it up.
