The Whole Enchilada: A Novel of Suspense

Goldy Bear Culinary Mysteries, Book 17

De: Diane Mott Davidson

Narrado por: Barbara Rosenblat

Caterer and sleuth extraordinaire Goldy Schulz jumps from the frying pan into the fire as she tries to solve a puzzling murder that is much too close to home, in this latest entry in the New York Times best-selling series from "today's foremost practitioner of the culinary whodunit" (Entertainment Weekly).

Goldy Schulz knows her food is to die for, but she never expects one of her best friends to actually keel over when she's leaving a birthday party Goldy has catered. At first, everyone assumes that all the fun and excitement of the party, not to mention the rich fare, did her in. But what looks like a coronary turns out to be a generous serving of cold-blooded murder. And the clever culprit is just getting cooking. When a colleague - a woman who resembles Goldy - is stabbed, and Goldy is attacked outside her house, it becomes clear that the popular caterer is the main course on a killer menu. With time running out, Goldy must roll up her sleeves, sharpen her knives, and make a meal out of a devious murderer, before that killer can serve her up cold.

Bad Narration Can Ruin A Story

Would you consider the audio edition of The Whole Enchilada: A Novel of Suspense to be better than the print version?

I'd like to try the other Diane Mott Davidson books, but will stick with the print editions.

What did you like best about this story?

The food connection was interesting, and I enjoyed the way it was woven into the plot.

Would you be willing to try another one of Barbara Rosenblat’s performances?

I don't care for Barbara Rosenblat, but this is her worse performance by far. Doubt that I will listen to another one.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Only extreme reaction was to the narration. The book itself seemed quite good.

Any additional comments?

I've purchased many Audible books in the past, but was extremely disappointed in this one.

Enjoyable

I was entertained but not riveted by the plot. Predictable but that suits me right now...no thinking

I love this narrator

I've listened to the whole series. I'm pretty picky. Love this series and the narrator brings life to the characters. I feel like I know them. AND it inspires me to get in the kitchen!! Hahahahhaha!!!

So unrealistic yet entertaining

Glad that Goldy is back but the premise of her having so much involvement in a police investigation makes the whole story unrealistic for me. The story itself was entertaining and I was looking for entertainment. Love Barbara Rosenblat as the narrator.

I loved it

Great read couldn't wait to listen each day.
Goldie does it again I love to hear Barbara Rosenblatt she is so talented

Good story, questionable narration

I liked the story but had trouble listening to the narrator. She has a gravelly voice like a long time smoker and it was painful to hear. I plan to go back to reading DMD's books.

Excellent

Barbara Rosenblat was again at her best in the performance of another hit mystery by Diane Mott Davidson.

I can't imagine Goldy with this voice!

What did you like best about The Whole Enchilada: A Novel of Suspense? What did you like least?

This voice is just not Goldy to me. I imagined her as younger and peppier. This simply sounds like an old lady smoker to me. Sorry, but it's awful.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Enjoyed the book, the plot and characters.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I just imagine Goldy with a younger, smoother, and less "dramatic" voice. This voice says a 65 year old woman in a caftan to me.

Do you think The Whole Enchilada: A Novel of Suspense needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes--kept up with characters and what you would expect, but not the same same thing.

A fun read

I enjoy this series very much. Fun character and lots of twists and turns. Goldie gets her self into lots of trouble.

Loved it

I have read several of the Goldie books and this was as good as the others. I recommend this book for people who enjoy serial mystery books.
