Goldy the Caterer is back in another fun mystery by Diane Mott Davidson. Goldy becomes embroiled in yet another mystery in her town of Aspen Meadow, CO., when she discovers the dead body of the unscrupulous contractor that had made a mess of her kitchen. She decides she has to solve the mystery when a dear friend of hers is arrested for the murder and her teacher is found dead under suspicious circumstances.
One of the main ingredients in this series is the rich background involving Goldy's friends and family. We get to catch up with best friend Marla, husband Tom, and son Arch. This book also features the welcome return of border and vegetarian chef in training, Julian Teller. We also discover how Goldy's ex husband (the Jerk) can still make life difficult for Goldy, even when he's in jail.
A fast and fun read. Speaking as a museum worker and volunteer, my one complaint is that the folks involved at the local history museum are just a little too mellow, and relaxed about what happens at the museum. As always, I enjoyed my latest visit to Goldy's kitchen.
