Barbara Rosenblat does an outstanding job narrating this ‘light hearted’ murder mystery. I love her semi-sarcastic style! The story was not ‘corney’ although it contained romance, friendship and family love. There were suspenseful scenes and it wasn’t easy to figure out the ending! In fact, I didn’t figure it out…I had to read it. Quite enjoyable!

I thought for sure this book was written in the 50s or 60s. You know how those books read; the language is dated and the characters all feel stiff. I couldn’t keep up with the amount of times a character said “gee” or “golly”. The detective in the story referred to himself and other detectives as “dicks”. Then various dates and times were mentioned in the book, and I realized this book had to have been written much later than I’d thought. Turns out, it was published in 1990. I never would have guessed. Then I started doing the math…a lot of the history goes back to when the main character (Goldie)’s ex was 10 (in 1967). They say the current time is 20 years after, so 1987. Goldie’s ex is a gynecologist, with an 11 year old son. He was practicing when he met Goldie. If they hooked up right away, that would’ve made him 19 when they met. I’ve never in my life met a 19 year old gynecologist, and frankly I never want to.
In addition to dated language, the language is just dull. The jokes and puns (and there are a lot of them) aren’t funny. Characters would refer to something being odd or unusual, when it wasn’t at all. For example, the main character thought it was very funny when her 11 year old son asked, “What’s geometry?” That’s it. Context isn’t needed; it was no funnier in the story that it was just there where I typed it. I actually created a drinking game listening to this book. Take a shot for every time Goldie says “my business”, Vonette says “I have a headache” or Patty Sue says “I feel sick”. Go ahead. You’ll be falling down drunk in an hour.

Audiobook Catering to Nobody by Diane Mott Davidson

Dead body immediately but I believe it was about 2 hours into the book before much “detecting” went on? A lot of characters and “setting the stage” but it was still okay, you can sure multi-task while listening.

Tip: as far as the mouth noises go that others warned of, being on the treadmill DOES help noticing that part. Not real horrible but still noticeable.

More on the narrator…. she did a great job on “the son, Arch”, I thought. Others were okay but she has a very raspy sort of voice in general and this “sighing” type attitude. Not quite sure how to tell you but it’s tiring.

All in all, I probably wouldn’t have bought it had I known what it was like. I already bought the 2nd book and hoping that one is better but I’m not holding my breath. I had listened to the snippet of the book offtered and thought it was going to be pretty decent so purchased the 2nd one right away too. Probably a mistake as I have no desire to listen to it any too soon.

Review #4

Audio Catering to Nobody narrated by Barbara Rosenblat

So I actually disagree with the other review about how you can hear her breathe and swallow. You can a little but it isn’t distracting. The problem is her interpretation of the text. Sure, the main character is carrying around a ton of baggage, has absolutely no patience, and is insecure about her ability to do almost anything (and yet keeps doing it all), but the tone the narrator gives to the woman makes her flat-out unsympathetic. Goldy ends up just sounding immature and whiny. This same treatment is given to multiple female characters. It’s one thing to read these books and see the issues of the characters but the narration adds an extra level which pushes them over the top. The wimps are wimpier and whiners are whinier, and the cheerful optimists are so full of bon mots in the face of grumpiness that they all become extreme caricatures. I listened to this book on a road trip and found myself not caring about how it all ended up even though I have enjoyed reading other books in the series (actually reading, not listening). A different tone for many of the sentences uttered by characters could have salvaged this. They are predictable but would be pleasant enough to listen to when falling asleep except for this issue.

This first book in an on-going mystery series about a single mother and her catering business in Colorado presents the main characters and their back story. It is a pleasant story with interesting people, somewhat exaggerated in behavior. Having read the first three books, in which a different member of Goldie’s family is threatened. I have been interested enough to downloaded the nest to hear who will be the next potential victim
The description of the catering business forms a background, and the food is lovingly described. Some recipes are included.
