Delicious cozy but tired

Fatally Flaky is number 15 in the cozy series involving Goldy Schulz, a caterer in Aspen meadow, Colorado. I have read all the books in this series and seem to becoming disappointed in the plotlines. It just seems like reading the same story over and over. With slight deviations. This book centers around kind of a Bridezilla who is really over the top. This mystery involves the death of, first, her godfather's best friend and then the godfather himself. First issue is the godfather is talked alot about by Goldy and how much she cared about him but he really is written in as not a particularly wonderful guy otherwise. Second, there just is alot of arguing, drinking and throwing up for my taste. Some things were just a little too far reached, like her withholding evidence and lying to other characters and to top it off, the use of a deputy as her own personal bodyguard. And the ending was a disappointment. I will keep reading them for enjoyment but will continue to check them out of the library. http://www.harpercollins.com/authors/25347/Diane_Mott_Davidson/index.aspx
