The Main Corpse by Diane Mott Davidson

The Main Corpse by Diane Mott Davidson
(Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery #6)
337 pages

"Goldy, owner of Goldilocks' Catering, barely weathered a disastrous spring in which relentless rains and driving snow put a real damper on her business. But now, thanks to her best friend, Marla, the Colorado caterer is suddenly cooking up a storm...

"The Prospect Partners' financial whiz, Tony Royce, with whom Marla is having a tempestuous affair, and Albert Lipscomb, who is personally managing Marla's money, have hired Goldy to prepare a sumptuous party to kick off their latest venture: the reopening of the Eurydice Gold Mine... Yet just when she thinks she can relax, all hell breaks loose--and the main culprit is Marla.

"Her best friend is sure the mine venture is a scam. And when, several days later, Albert ends up missing, it looks as if Marla was right. Why, then, is the police captain treating Goldy's best friend as if she had committed a crime? And how can Goldy keep her fourteen-year-old son Arch and his unreliable bloodhound from making matters worse?"  --from the publisher

Davidson is my favorite cozy mystery author and this tale did not disappoint. It's a great, seriously-comical, murder mystery adventure. I gave it four out of five stars. This series is best read in order, but they are definitely worth reading any way you can.
