      For those familiar with Diane Mott Davidson's mysteries this follows the usual plot line of a murder or murders in which Goldie Schulz, a caterer by day and an amateur detective all the time, is somehow involved. While cooking up a storm and dealing with her ex-husband (the JERK), Goldie solves the mystery by the end of the book. In this case, Goldie is rudely awakened one morning by a shotgun blast to her living room window. Her husband, a real police detective, is out of town investigating a robbery/murder which involves expensive stamps. Goldie packs up her son and her catering supplies and seeks refuge at the castle in which she is scheduled to cater two functions. While checking out the chapel which is the location of the first function she finds a dead body. She recognizes the deceased as the person her husband is seeking. Her husband turns up almost immediately and is shot as he go to greet her. Although he is not seriously hurt, they still can't return home so everyone stays at the castle which may be haunted. These cozies are a good light read (which I definitely needed after finishing Prozac Nation) and the recipes are mouth-watering. Bon appetit.

      A good audiobook for commuting. I liked the castle location, and since I used to be a stamp collector, the stamps were an interesting addition to the story.

      Davidson, DIane Mott, Sticks n Scones, caterer Goldy schultz, cop hubby, Hyde Castle n Hyde Chapel Anglophile lunch n fencing club dinner - many small points unbelievable- including the focus on recipes - her hubby is away to find an informant who turns up dead at _her_ location - she luckily finds ALL the clues - sheesh!

      This story starts with a bang when someone shoots a hole in Goldie's house during the night. She is about to begin a big catering event when she has to leave home with her son and flee to the client's home. Problem is, she's not sure that is safe either.I really didn't care for this book. The events seemed incredibly far-fetched to me and the author couldn't make them believable. I have the same problem with Goldie that I have with Amelia Peabody, I can't believe in them, their reactions, actions, behavior or thoughts. It all seems choppy and sensational to me. So, you might like this book, but it doesn't appeal to me.
    • 3/5
      A culinary mystery. I couldn't put it down.
    • 4/5
      Enjoy this character, love hearing about cooking/recipes
    • 4/5
      #10 of the 17 book Goldy the Caterer series set in the Aspen/Denver area of Colorado. A fairly good mix of the author's standard characters along with a few criminal types and a bimbo or two. The far fetched plot is typical of this series. But a good romp with some medieval history, fencing and thematic recipes.
    • 4/5
      This wasn't one of my favorites, maybe because the relationship between Goldie and Tom didn't feel very real in this book. Ms. Davidson tried to create a sense of jealousy and possible betrayal but it didn't really work. I also felt like the mystery part just didn't hang together very well.
    • 5/5
      Sticks & Scones by Diane Mott Davidson is the tenth of the Goldy Bear culinary mystery series. Goldy's catering business is still on hold because of the drains. Her PBS show has ended and now she's working as a live in caterer in an authentic castle brought to Colorado brick by brick some decades earlier.As most of this story is set within the old castle, there's a bit of a ghost story tossed in. As Goldy learns the history of the castle and its move to Colorado, she also hears of a ghost story of a child who died of pneumonia.It seems that every book Tom Schulz has some sort of reason to be out of the picture in terms of being able to help with the investigation, even though he works for the county sheriff's department. This time it's because he's been shot in the line of duty.But it was the castle and it's history — ancient and recent — that kept me listening to the audio. There are a lot of fascinating details both how old castles functioned and the work needed to modernize them.
