The best thing about her marriage was the divorce
settlement Suzanne Hart used to buy a donut shop. Now she
pours everything she has into the shop, creating new
recipes and updating her shop when she can. Working the
graveyard shift takes on a whole new meaning when Suzanne
arrives at work just as a body is dumped at her front door.
Despite the fact she didn't see anything, she's soon
receiving threatening phone calls warning her away from the
investigation.
Patrick Blaine was one of Suzanne's regular customers; his
demise could well mean the end of her as well! She's drawn
into the investigation as a matter of self preservation and
finds sleuthing isn't nearly as rewarding as creating a new
donut recipe. A blossoming relationship with State Police
Inspector Jake Bishop is a bonus she hopes continues after
the investigation is closed...if she survives.
Jessica Beck's GLAZED MURDER is a thoroughly
entertaining and neatly plotted mystery. The action kicks
off on the first page and continues all the way through to
the end. Suzanne Hart is a likable amateur sleuth, cleverly
putting together the clues with some help from a very
enjoyable cast of supporting characters, including her
mother (whom she lives with), a retired cop, her ex, and
possible romantic interest Jake. The conversational tone of
the story keeps the reader actively involved throughout.
This was a book I couldn't put down.
Meet Suzanne Hart, owner and operator of Donut
Hearts coffee shop in April Springs, North Carolina. After
her divorce from Max, an out-of-work actor she’s dubbed “The
Great Impersonator,” Suzanne decided to pursue her one true
passion in life: donuts. So she cashed in her settlement and
opened up shop in the heart of her beloved
hometown.
But when a dead body is dumped on her
doorstep like a sack of flour, Suzanne’s cozy little shop
becomes an all-out crime scene. Now, everyone in town is
dropping by for glazed donuts and gruesome details. The
retired sheriff warns her to be careful—and they’re all
suspects. Soon Suzanne—who finds snooping as irresistible as
donuts—is poking holes in everyone’s alibis…
