After 14 books, Diane Mott Davidson‘s Aspen Meadows is starting to look like Colorado’s answer to Cabot Cove.

This isn’t to say that I didn’t enjoy “Sweet Revenge” or its 13 predecessors. Davidson’s culinary capers are the cotton candy of the mystery world — fluffy, fun and light on substance. Just the way I like my murder mysteries. The pun-tastic titles and the whimsically named dishes (complete with recipes!) are enough to keep me entertained.

But the shtick is starting to wear thin. How many dead bodies does caterer Goldy Schulz need to discover before she decides it might be safer to live in Detroit?
