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?

 Other one-star and two-star reviewers are on target! November 21, 2008
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.
 repetative and boring November 12, 2008
I've enjoyed the other Goldie books that I've read, but this one was really quite boring. Goldie comes off as more of a busybody in this than a sleuth and she really sticks her nose where it doesn't belong. She describes other characters as acquaintances or people she's met, but she bends over backwards to help them out of sticky situations that any normal person wouldn't be involved in. (When Patricia comes to her house because her lawyer told her to?!? What?) Yea, we get it Arch needs to clean his room, but do we really need the details? All the details about her driving made me nervous. Why is she chasing Sandee down? Why hasn't Tom arrested her for involving herself in a police investigation? This mystery seems disjointed and full of fluff. Not nearly as enjoyable as other Goldie books.
 Sweet Revenge October 18, 2008
Goldy Schlulz is back in this, the fourteenth entry in the series. Goldy is now 34 years old, the mother of a precocious 15-year-old boy. She is the owner of Goldilock's Catering, although she describes herself as follows: "First I was a mom and a wife, second I was a caterer, and third, every now and then people wanted me to figure out what had happened to their loved ones, loved ones who were victims of crimes."
This time around, Goldy is preparing to cater a party at the home of a very wealthy man whose hobby is map collecting. But not long before the scheduled event, one of the guests, a former District Attorney, is found dead in, of all places, the town library. When the dead man's fiancee, a former client and "sort of a friend" of Goldy, shows up at her door shortly afterwards, Goldy's ambivalence dial is turned up: Goldy cannot believe she is guilty, but the police certainly think she is, and promptly arrest her.
Complicating matters is that three weeks prior to these events Goldy was certain she had seen a young woman who six months before had admitted to killed Goldy's ex-husband, fondly remembered as "The Jerk," before apparently jumping to her death in a blazing inferno. That same young woman, Goldy believes, was sneaking around the library aisles just before the body of the dead man was discovered. Was the woman a phantom, as Goldy fears, or was she real, and what was her connection to the murder?
With the help of her best friend, Marla, who happens to be the other ex-wife of The Jerk, Goldy tries to discover the identity of the killer, to the dismay of her husband, an investigator with the Sheriff's Department. Always entertaining, as usual in this series, in addition to the solving of the mystery the reader is treated to the usual collection of mouth-watering recipes. Fans of this series will not be disappointed.
 Another great book October 16, 2008
I've read every book she's ever written and have never been disappointed. It's fun reading, then you can go and cook or bake up her recipes as well.
 Go ahead, enjoy! October 14, 2008
I loved this book! I have enjoyed every one of the Goldy tales and this one was one of the better reads! Great recipes are a bonus, too. Enjoy~
