I've waited for years for her to straighten out the mini-jerk Arch. He needed to be put in his place years ago.
But,she took abuse from the Jerk for years,now she's letting the kid get away with it.
Tom isn't exactly supportive either.She needs to tell them both off!

Her next book is due out in April 2011, I believe the title is "Crunch Time".
I have read all of her books (as they have come out) and have been a fan for many years. Yes, she is light reading but Goldy becomes like a friend, a soap opera of sorts that pulls you in although predictable. She gives us a nice little escape without all the trash you find in alot of other books. Love the receipes, love the characters, just a nice, fun read. I have also made some of the food and am pleasantly surprised how good everything was. Read it for what it is, simple, good, clean reading!

I am reading number 11. I am shocked, as a mother, how Goldy lets her son talks to her. My daughter would never get by with it. As a role model, she stinks. She is constantly doing things she was told not to do. If I had a child that was that rebellious, he/she would be in military school. She gets a head injury and doesn't seek medical care but instead takes aspirin--not real smart.

As far as finding used books, my advice is to check library book sales. It's often cheaper than used book stores

Hi all! I have read all of Ms. Davidson's books, but when moved across the country I could not bring them all. To top it off, my new hometown does not have a used bookstore! I would be interested in sharing a couple of the recipes (if we are allowed to do that).
Thanks!
Carly- the recipe for Julian's famous fudge is never given, just talked about. Weird, right?

I really enjoyed Ms. Davidson's first couple of books and then laid off them for a while. within the last month I have finished (with difficulty) "Dark Tort" and "Fatally Flaky" I know these are considered light reading mysteries but I must admit that Goldy Shultz is rather getting on my nerves. First I can't believe that after putting up with the Jerk for years, she now puts up with Jerk Jr. whose behavior is not exactly what I would deem typical teen behavior. She is totally without common sense and acts in such a passive aggressive manner, that I am not surprised she lets her clients slap her around and verbally abuse her...does she need the business that badly??? and why, after she falls off a cliff, gets clobbered over the head, and smashes up her best friends Cadillac, all in the same day, does she not atleast seek medical attention?? But Nooooo, she gets right back up dusts off her knees, goes home and starts making dinner for 16 people, not to mention getting ready for tomorrows catering job. I do not usually waste my time writing reviews, but I have to say that Ms. Davidson's heroine Goldy Shultz is "Not just right" in fact you'd have to be out of your mind to hire her for any catering event given the number of dead bodies that frequently show up...isn't anyone in Aspen Meadows asking these simple questions? Ms. Davidson your novels although considered light reading, are simply not believable in the least.

I just finished Tough Cookie and I believe I'm going to give up. The only reason I read this many,is I was hoping the Jerk and Arch would both get put in their place. She's such a weak person It's hard to see her solving crimes and being tough to the bad guys when she should stay home for a week and whip Arch into shape. The rude, inconsiderate, ungrateful little mini-jerk. It's not "typical teenage behavior." As for the Jerk. . . the guy's in jail, and he's still getting at her. Tom's a cop. Borrow his gun.
