Sweet is a Treat

Well read as always.A plot with the twists and turns of an accomplished writer. The only thing lacking is the recipes come at the end of the audio version and not as easily followed as in the book versions. Davidson has captured the "upscale" mountain community west of Denver and its snobs, hippies and suburbanites. The characters introduced in the beginning of her books have the half life of a Travis McGee girlfiend but then the mystery is who killed them.

Mott Davidson books are ALWAYS a good read.

I always enjoy reading Diane Mott Davidson's books. She has a way with words that no one can match.

Barbara Rosenblat is BACK!!!! And Amazing!!!!

If you could sum up Sweet Revenge in three words, what would they be?

My favorite Goldie reader is BACK!!! Thank you audible for bringing back the real sound of Goldie!!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Sweet Revenge?

Tom's husky voice asking Goldie if she needed glasses, in regards to Sandee.

Have you listened to any of Barbara Rosenblat’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

YES!!! SHE'S BACK. I can't remember the reader from the last book that was replaced but she read the Goldie character like a soap opera character. I hated the old reader's mens voices. Tom sounded horrible and I couldn't love Marla the way that I do when Barbara Rosenblat reads her. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for bringing Barbara Rosenblat back!!!!!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I would be the same line they used in a newspaper article about Goldie in one of the books.
Something like: "Tough cookie Goldie the Caterer, solves murder in a small Colorado Mountain Town, while being a single mom and cooking gourmet food for the towns elite."

Any additional comments?

I've really grown to love this characters the way the Barbara Rosenblat reads them. Thank you again for bringing back the real Goldie Schultz.

good book

this book should be titled, "if you don't know, shut up" yet again the main character talks to the killer too much to not notice the con being run, but if you knew the number of murder victim the she does, I guess you would be as air headed. being an acquaintance of the main character is like putting your name on a hit list. the story was well thought out, the plot was interesting, and the narrator brought the characters to life.

I love this series and the narrator

What made the experience of listening to Sweet Revenge the most enjoyable?

Entertaining and funny. Especially relevant if you know the characters.
Sometimes unbelievable situations but they make you smile. Good for
your down periods.

What about Barbara Rosenblat’s performance did you like?

Barbara Rosenblat's narration brings all the characters to life and in their own
sphere.

Any additional comments?

Each book that I finish puts you into the mood for the next installment.

Great light read - Perfect for the beach!

Reading a Goldy novel is like visiting old friends. Just enough mystery, just enough family life and, of course, great food.

Disappointed

Had I read the book I would have kept my image of the charaters. I wish I would have. The reader was too old sounding, too tired. The story was okay - not as good as previous books in the series.

About Normal

This was another in the same old same old style of Mott-Davidson. There were too many people that she was best friends with and it was very predictable. This book dragged on for what seemed like days.

I really believe that if they would use another voice the book would not have been so hard to listen too.

okay

I really like this author's book, and this series is a lot of fun. Not crazy about the narrator though. Her kid voice is grating and made some of the characters' voices were annoying. Read these books, you will like them better that way!
