CATERING TO NOBODY: Diane Mott Davidson: Bantam Books: Mystery: 301 pagesGet ready for a smorgasbord of delicious suspense prepared by Goldy Bear, an irrepressible mistress of menus and amateur sleuth. Filled with a cast of colorful characters and superb recipes, Catering to Nobody is the first in a series that has made Diane Mott Davidson a best-selling author and the Queen of the Culinary Mystery. Goldy Bear, recently divorced, has made a home for herself and her young son in scenic Aspen Valley, Colorado. There, calls for Goldilock’s Catering have been steady enough to pay the bills. But when a mourner is felled by rat poison during a funeral buffet Goldy is serving, the police quickly close her business. Now it’s up to Goldy to find the rat that has tainted her food and her reputation.
This was a good mystery. I didn’t figure out whodunit until the very end. The cast of characters was mostly likable, although I thought that Patty Sue was too flighty and that Arch was a little weird. I did enjoy this first book in the series and would recommend it.
