Sweet Revenge

De: Diane Mott Davidson

Narrado por: Barbara Rosenblat

Goldy Schulz is thrilled to be catering a holiday breakfast feast for the staff of the Aspen Meadow Library. But little does she know that on the menu, alongside the Great Expectations Grapefruit, Chuzzlewit Cheese Pie, and Bleak House Bars, is a large helping of murder.

While setting up at the library, Goldy spots a woman lurking in the stacks who bears a striking resemblance to Sandee Brisbane - the woman who killed Goldy's ex-husband, the Jerk. But Sandee is supposed to be dead. Or so everyone believes.

Goldy's suspicions mount when the body of Drew Wellington, a former district attorney, is found in a corner of the library with a map worth thousands of dollars stashed in his clothing. She's convinced that Sandee is involved.

But the holiday madness is only just beginning for Goldy. Soon she's drawn into the dangerous, double-crossing world of high-end map dealing. And like the ghost of Christmas past, Sandee keeps making an appearance. Could she be out to prove that revenge is sweet?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Davidson is at the top of her form....Readers will happily sink their teeth into Goldy's latest case and come away hungry for more." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great all around listen

I Always enjoy Barbara Rosenblatt as Goldie Schultz and the other characters. This is a fun listen.

GREAT

LOVE GOLDY, EASY LISTEN, GREAT STORY LINE.

Always keeps you guessing

the Goldy Series always keeps you interested & trying to figure out the ending. You have to wait until the very last minute for the answers.

Just okay

I've listened to all the books in this series, and found them all entertaining, except this one. It was just a little too unbelievable that a 30 something woman could endure every event that "Goldy" did in this story and not end up in the hospital. Instead, she was out running errands, driving on snow slicked highways, chasing bad girls, catering all her events and of course, solving the crime in the end. More superhero than average woman. And the relationships/friendships she has with the other characters....also a bit unbelievable. There's one story left to listen to, and I'll do it, just to catch up on the series, but if it's like this one, I'll stop right there.

As far as the narration, Barbara Roseblatt to me is Goldy Shultz. I do enjoy the way she reads.

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.

Sweet plot, sweeter reading & sweetest characters

The plot is terrific--so good I kept sliding my progress bar back to re-listen, the characters are rich in detail, and the narrating is perfect. I love to be made to laugh in the midst of a mystery, and I was laughing out loud in several places, often AT Goldy, but in a nice way. This is one of my favorite in the series.

A definite sweet re-read...

great detective work

liked this audible version to go thru slow sections. series books are fun from this author.

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!

So so story with a narrator whose voice grates

This was not one of the best books in the series. I became bored with the story but was determined to finish. I don't really care for Barbara Rosenblat's narration and that really takes away from the story. I'll finish the series but I will read the books instead of listening to the audiobooks.

Goldy isn't so gold anymore

It was okay. I think that Goldy's character is a bit silly and it amazes me that she never ages. Tom as always was very forgiving. I might listen to the next book. The supporting characters are the real draw for me. I think Julian should get his own series. But I guess he is smart enough to mind his own business so that wouldn't work.
