Summary:
Goldy Schultz is a caterer in Colorado dealing with the bridezillaest of brides, who likes to throw Goldy as many curve balls as she can. The biggest comes just two days before the wedding, when Billie Bridezillie tells Goldy she's changed the venue and added fifty more guests to the list. Oh, and Goldy is in the middle of working another wedding when she gets the news, a wedding in which not only does the estranged father of the bride shows up drunk and trying to get involved in the wedding, but the man who is supposed to be walking the bride down the aisle winds up dead in a ravine. The story follows Goldy as she tries to find out whodunnit, and as she grieves for someone else who winds up dead, too.
Thoughts:
It was kind of slow going. The author describes far too much having to do with the baking mess, and should focus more on actual story. The writing isn't bad, and I definitely didn't pick out the ending. I will say that it seemed to wrap up too easily, like even the author wasn't sure who did it in the end, and she didn't put out enough clues that would lead to the killer. That could be just me, though.
Pages: 382, unless you count the recipes, then 432.
Genre: Mystery, with a hint of "crazy bride!" thrown in, cookbook (last 30 pages of the paperback!!)
Grade: B-
Would I Recommend?: Wouldn't go out of my way to, but wouldn't dissuade anyone either.
25 down, 25 to go! Halfway point for the year's goal!
