Catering to Nobody (Goldy, Book 1)
This one is a mix bag. I loved the plot but hated the "dated" feel of it. Unlike Sayers' universe set in her time or close to it, Davidson's early 90's setting just feels phony and out of place. I won't start on the whole abusive ex-husband, wife beater, jerk and weasel. How can the main character let herself be that much of a doormat is beyond me. That's the part I don't buy. Goldie is a strong headed woman with drive. How she lets her ex get away with not paying child support and still push her around is not believable to me. This makes her character weak and incoherent. Most of the female characters were in this contrive plot. It was like watching a train wreck, you can't help yourself and continue on watching or reading in this case. I have a few others novels in this series. I hope it gets better.
