The Grilling Season by Diane Mott Davidson

 

The Grilling Season by Diane Mott Davidson
(A Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery #7)
401 pages

"Caterer Goldy Schulz has been hired to host a hockey party. But the proceedings won't be all fun and games. Unfortunately, her client won't be satisfied until Goldy adds a hefty serving of revenge.

"Patricia McCracken is certain that her obstetrician and her penny-pinching HMO are responsible for the loss of her baby. Now she is suing both, and she wants Goldy's advice on coming out on top. For Dr. John Richard Korman, aka the Jerk, is none other than Goldy's abusive ex-husband. Goldy knows all about John Richard's secret life--but even she is shocked when he's arrested for the murder of his latest girlfriend.

"As much as Goldy would like to see her ex get his just desserts, could he really be a killer? Soon she will find herself sifting through a spicy mix of sizzling gossip for clues to a mystery that threatens her catering deadline, her relationship with her son and new husband... and even her life."  --from the publisher

I love these characters; this is my "comfort reading." I think this one may be my least favorite, though. It didn't seem to flow for me, and some of the action seemed out of character. I give it three out of five stars.
