For Colorado caterer Goldy Schulz, business isn't just booming—it's skyrocketing.
Her friend Marla is constantly warning her, "Success can kill you." But Goldy doesn't take the warning literally until her next booking: a cocktail party for the Westside Mall's Elite Shoppers Club.
While setting up, Goldy is nearly run down by a truck with no intention of stopping. Then she finds an old friend in a pile of sale shoes—stabbed with one of Goldy's new knives. Goldy must catch the real killer between whipping up Sweethearts' Swedish Meatballs, Quiche Me Quick, and Diamond
Lovers' Hot Crab Dip. Why was the victim carrying a powerful narcotic? Who hired a private investigator shortly before the murder? Goldy's gourmet instincts tell her the final course in this case will be a real killer.

The eleventh in the Goldy series is packed with Diane Mott Davidson staples--fun, food, and foul play. Goldilocks Catering--"Where everything is just right"--is suddenly the hot ticket in Aspen Meadow, and everywhere that Goldy goes murder is sure to follow. When a body is found with one of Goldy's new knives sticking out of its middle, her assistant and trusted friend, Julian, is the prime suspect. CHOPPING SPREE challenges fans of the audio series to accept a new narrator for Goldy, and Joyce Bean doesn't disappoint. Her hysteria mounts as Goldy fortifies herself with four-shot espresso lattés--to calm her nerves---and her characterization of teenaged son Arch is annoyingly adolescent. Justice prevails via creative snooping and cookery, and everyone goes home happy--and stuffed. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine
