Dying for Chocolate

Goldy Culinary Mysteries, Book 2

By: Diane Mott Davidson

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

Goldy Bear is the bright, opinionated, wildly inventive caterer whose personal life is a recipe for disaster, with bills taking a bite out of her budget and her abusive ex-husband making tasteless threats. Determined to take control, Goldy moves her business to the ritzy Aspen Meadow Country Club. Soon she’s preparing decadent dinners and posh society picnics—and enjoying the favors of Philip Miller, a handsome local shrink, and Tom Schulz, her more-than-friendly neighborhood cop. Until, that is, the dishy doctor drives his BMW into an oncoming bus. Convinced that Philip’s bizarre death was no accident, Goldy begins to sift through the dead doc’s unpalatable secrets. But this case is seasoned with unexpected danger and even more unexpected revelations—the kind that could get a caterer killed.

“A classic whodunit … the perfect book for food lovers.”—New York Daily News

marvelous

great storyline, can't wait to listen to the next book. So glad there are many more.

Love the series- not so crazy about narrator

What made the experience of listening to Dying for Chocolate the most enjoyable?

The series is great and the characters captivating.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dying for Chocolate?

Mother-son relationship

How could the performance have been better?

I can't stand te narrator. Can't the mute out her swallowing and mouth noises? She also cones across whiny sometimes. Makes me a little crazy- the reason I have requested the rest of the series from the local library to read.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

love and enjoy the book. it was sad and funny. kept your laughing and crying. love the recipes and i have created some of them into my scented soaps that i have made. smell good and feels great on the skin.recommend to read all of her books. can't wait to read the next one in her series.

Love the series

Loved all the books. I haven't tried any of the recipes but enjoy reading them. I recommend all the books in this series to everyone who enjoys a good mystery.

Fun

The Goldy Mysteries aren't meant to be serious literature or even, I think, all that logical - they're a silly way to make it through vacuuming the living room or backwashing the pool. I know Barbara Rosenblatt is a popular narrator, but her mouth noises gross me out. The listen would have been more enjoyable if the sound engineer had dealt with all that juicy smacking, popping and wheezing. Yuck.

Dying for Chocolate

Pretty good book. I wasn't sure what to expect but I did enjoy it.

Love this series! Have them all.

Love this series! Have them all. Listen to them every year or so. Fun and easy listening.

Excellent narrator. Most irritating, whining, foolish heroine.

I loved the narration. The plot is fairly good - I couldn’t come up with a better one which is why I’m not an author! But the heroine of the book is the most whining, bitchy, complaining character. If this was real life, I’d avoid her like the plague.

Whine on

There seemed to be too much whining from Goldie. She seemed far too competent to be such a ?

So good

I enjoyed the first installment but this second installment was so much better. I love the quick wit, twists, mystery, and the bit of danger.
