Amazon.com
You could die from reading one of Diane Mott Davidson's culinary mysteries: this one includes recipes for Jailbreak Potatoes (butter, whipping cream, freshly grated Parmesan cheese) and Labor Day Flourless Chocolate Cake with Berries, Melba Sauce, and White Chocolate Cream (butter, chocolate, eggs, sugar, whipping cream). So you might want to take both the recipes and Davidson's pinball machine-like plots in small bites. This time, caterer Goldy Schulz careens between the worlds of contracting and high fashion models, with bodies from both camps falling into the food. It's all in fun, and readers have been lapping up Davidson's merry mélanges with increasing appetite. Catering to Nobody, The Cereal Murders, Dying for Chocolate, The Grilling Season, Killer Pancake, and The Main Corpse are available on the paperback menu. --Dick Adler

From Booklist
Last seen in The Grilling Season , caterer Goldy Schulz returns in her usual fine form. However, things are a little disturbed in Aspen Meadow, Colorado, right now: Goldy's policeman husband Tom is having nasty arguments with a new assistant DA with political aspirations and no sense; there's a new caterer in town who seems to be underbidding Goldy at every turn and displays an extremely condescending attitude; and her kitchen is in a state of construction due to the defection of a contractor. Things go from bad to worse when Goldy finds the body of the missing contractor and an old friend, caught by circumstantial evidence, is arrested for the murder at the insistence of the obnoxious new DA. As usual, Davidson cooks up quite a stew, with Goldy as the prime ingredient, whipping up fantastic meals (recipes included) while sleuthing on the side. Good characterizations and a zippy style make this another enjoyable installment in this appealing series. Stuart Miller

Format:Taschenbuch
The series of Mott Davidson's mysteries featuring Goldy the caterer is among my favorites. But I've come to expect a bit more of her than what I read in "Prime Cut". The story revolves around the murder of a shyster contractor, Goldy's current catering assignment at a modeling shoot, and the historical museum in her Colorado town. In her defense, I will chalk part of it up to outside distractions as I did not have as much to devote to reading this book as I would have liked. But even so, the book seemed choppy to me. I enjoyed it, but only because I've already come to know and love Goldy and the other recurring characters such as Tom, Goldy's "lawman" husband; Marla, her well-dressed and even better-fed best friend; and Julian Teller, her vegetarian apprentice. However, I would not recommend that "Prime Cut" be the first Goldy mystery you read, lest it discourage you from reading her earlier, and in my opinion, more engrossing books. The characters in this one seemed one-dimensional and hard to get a handle on. Even the ones I KNEW I was supposed to like, such as Andre, Goldy's mentor, and Cameron Burr, a friend erroneously accused of the murder, left me apathetic. And as for the various women popping in and out of the modeling shoots and the artifact museum....who the heck WERE they? Even after finishing the book, I couldn't have told you. The final solution to the mystery, though, was imaginative and fun. I still love Goldy, and can't wait to dive into "Tough Cookie", which, as a matter of fact, awaits me on my nightstand.....

Unscrupulous caterer Craig Litchfield is trying to drive competitor Goldy's Catering out of business. However, Goldy is fortunate that at a time when solvency is at question, she has a paying customer. Goldy's spouse has been suspended without pay due to a dispute with the District Attorney. Additionally, Goldy's kitchen is a disaster after being trashed by an unethical contractor, George Eliot, who has fleeced other clients. However, her former mentor, Chef Andre Hibband, hires her to service a fashion shoot at the Merciful Migrations Cabin.
When George is found murdered, the DA feels he has an open and shut case. Goldy knows the prime suspect well and disagrees with the law enforcement officials. However, when Andre is found dead, an apparent heart attack victim, Goldy sees a link between the two deaths. What she does not know is that the words of the town's most infamous criminal(who has been dead for several decades)provides the answer to the puzzle, but anyone caught trying to decipher them becomes the next target of a killer.
Don't read this book on an empty stomach because the recipes are more delicious and fattening than the usual incredible fare that has made Diane Mott Davidson famous. PRIME CUT is a delighhtful Goldy culinary mystery that readers will enjoy immensely because of the refreshing, intricate, and absorbing story line. Sub-genre fans will relish Ms. Davidson's latest culinary delight.

Prime Cut was a fun book to read. Goldy the caterer/ mystery solver, is back in action. Her kitchen is nonfunctional, her catering jobs are being stolen or sabotaged, her best friend is being audited by the IRS and the contractor that never finishes his jobs (her kitchen, her friends homes...)is found murdered at a friends home. This is a wonderful blend of mystery and delicious recipes, (Keepsake Cookies and Jailbreak Potatoes and Andre's Coq au Vin) The biggest mystery comes at the end. This was another great read from Diane Mott Davidson. I enjoyed it and the recipes!
