DOUBLE SHOT

Goldy, of Goldy Bear Catering--"Where everything is just right"--learns that her abusive ex, John Richard Korman, a.k.a. "the Jerk," has just been released from serving time for aggravated assault. Several violent attacks later, Goldy believes that John Richard is to blame...right up until she finds his body. Barbara Rosenblat's performance is as delicious as the usual medley of mouth-watering recipes sprinkled liberally throughout Davidson's book. Rosenblat makes mincemeat of the catty Aspen Meadow's Christian women's group, whose buxom and brainless snow bunnies emerge as so much puff pastry. Her rendering of strippers, thugs, and twisted clerics adds just the right spice to Goldy's twelfth culinary adventure, guaranteeing that Davidson's recipe for murder and mayhem won't lose its appeal, even with the low-carb diet craze.
