    About this audiobook

    Diane Mott Davidson, Queen of the Culinary Mystery, has once again constructed a clever recipe for murder and intrigue. With The Last Suppers she continues to whet her readers’ appetites both for good reading and good food.

    Caterer Goldy Bear’s wedding day becomes a nightmare when her groom, homicide detective Tom Schulz, calls her from a murder scene and then vanishes. Her only clue to his disappearance is a cryptic note dropped at the scene of the
    crime. Its biblical references lead her to search for a Judas among her friends in the church congregation. Discovering intrigue in the most unlikely places, Goldy is so distraught that she’s hearing voices in her head. Will she be a widow before she’s a bride?

    Whether readers are listening to the unsavory details of the well-constructed murder plot, or learning the author’s original recipes for delectable Monster Cinnamon Rolls and Chocolate Truffle Cheesecake, they won’t want the book to end.

      I'm having this dream. I'm in a field, gazing up at the ruins of an old castle. My father is there. We head for the tower through the wind and tall grass, but all of a sudden we're surrounded by the castle guards. They're on all fours, staring at us,

      Always a fun read by Diane. Her characters are colorful and plot line exciting.
    • 1/5
      Goldy is getting a bit irritating. I think her character is very self absorbed and petty. I will try one more to see if she grows up any.
    • 3/5
      This is book # 4 in the Goldy Bear Culinary Mystery series. The Altar Guild ladies seem to have everything under control for the wedding reception, but Goldy just can’t stay out of the kitchen. She SHOULD be dressed by now … because it’s her own wedding. Yes, Goldy and homicide detective Tom Schulz are going to tie the knot. But the pastor is late, the reception hall is locked, and no one else seems to have the keys. Just before the ceremony is to begin Goldy gets a call from Tom – the wedding isn’t going to happen today. Pastor Olson has been murdered. When the police finally arrive at the church they bring even worse news; Tom Schulz is missing, apparently kidnapped by Olson’s killer.

      Goldy is a likeable amateur detective, but I don’t know anyone who refers to their significant other by his full name. Almost every time Goldy thinks about Tom she uses “Tom Schulz.” This really irritated me after a while. The Episcopal Church also takes quite a hit here; there doesn’t seem to be a single competent clergyman in the group, and the women of the Altar Guild are either controlling shrews or scared little mice. I thought too much time was spent on outlining the fight between the “charismatics” and the “Old Guard” factions.

      Still, this was easy to get into and a pretty fast read. Mott offered plenty of suspects, plot twists and recipes to keep me turning pages.
    • 4/5
      Goldy and Tom are just about to tie the knot when murder interposes. I kept thinking, "how is she still functioning when she's had NO sleep". Some mysteries make sense when you look at them the right way. This one didn't make as much sense - but then some people are just crazy and there is no understanding them.
    • 3/5
      Goldy is getting married. Or is she? The priest has not arrived, nor has her fiancee. When her fiancee calls at the last minute saying the priest has been murdered, rumors begin to fly at the Episcopal church. Things only get worse for Goldy as she discovers her fiancee is now missing. She is told to sit still and wait, but her mind won't let her. Being an active woman who makes her living at catering, she throws herself into cooking and trying to figure out what is happening in her church family.This book has numerous recipes, some of which I intend to copy and try. I found it to be a good read. Some of the character's reactions didn't ring true for me, and I have another bone to pick which would be a spoiler, but for the most part I enjoyed reading this and intend to read more. I won't be keeping it on my shelves, because I don't think I will need to read it again, but I'll happily share and recommend it to friends as a fun cozy mystery.
    • 4/5
      Enjoy this character, love hearing about cooking/recipes
