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.
