Publisher's Summary
New York Times best-selling author Diane Mott Davidson serves up tantalizing mysteries garnished with heart-stopping suspense and wry humor. In this tempting tale, caterer and sometimes sleuth Goldy Shulz proves she is one “tough cookie” as she faces threats to her business, her family, and her very life.
Everything seems to be going wrong for Goldy. The health inspector has shut down her catering business in Aspen Meadow, Colorado, due to non-standard plumbing. When she hosts a live cooking show for PBS, she drops eggshells into the cookie dough. On the way home from that humiliating experience, she finds the chairman of the State Parole Board - dead with hundred dollar bills drifting in the snow around him. Goldy’s troubles really begin, however, when the police launch a murder investigation and drag her into the middle of it.
Barbara Rosenblat’s sparkling performance ensures you’ll savor Goldy’s exciting escapades and each of her mouth-watering menus.

Great!!
I do not agree with any of the bad reviews for any books in this series. If these books were as bad as the the people who put in the reviews say they are then why are there 17 books in this series? I love these books and I will continue to recommend them to any book lover

Not the best
I found myself bored with the story and wanting to listen to others. The humor that Diane Mott Davidson usually brings just isn't there, and I pride myself in reading (listening) to her books in order so I don't miss any details. I was disappointed in her last book as well but gave this one a shot. I couldn't even get through the previous one.
I try to listen to everything Barbara Rosenblat narrates, because she can make any story a thrill to listen to. She is THE best narrator I've ever listened to, but I think I'll try a new author for a bit.

good book
in tge previous books, you assume the main character is just lucky because she is easily overlooked... not so, in this book she is advertised as a sluth. still she lucks into solving the crime. even though she has a psyc degree, she still falls for the killers lies, and doesn't figure out who the killer is until she nearly becomes the last victim. the story line is good, the characters are believable, and the narrator brings them to life.

Thoroughly Entertaining!
What made the experience of listening to Tough Cookie the most enjoyable?
The combination of Davidson's entertaining storyline and loveable, familiar character's with Rosenblat's ability to bring those characters to life make for another great listening experience. I've been listening to the entire series and am sad that I have almost come to the end. Davidson and Rosenblat are the best!
Who was your favorite character and why?
Goldy, of course. She is smart and strong yet vulnerable. In every book, no matter how busy and hectic her schedule, she never ceases to be a caretaker for others. I also love Tom. Their love story is sweet and heartwarming. Marla is a hoot, and she is a great friend to Goldy.
Any additional comments?
Listen to the series, starting with book 1, Catering to Nobody. Each book is a stand alone, but if you listen in order, the background story is much more meaningful. Barbara Rosenblat narrates all but one. I started listening to the one she didn't narrate, but ended up reading that one on kindle. I was too accustomed to Rosenblat's characters.
