Mystery Cozy

The crullers featured in KILLLER CRULLERS are more threatening than deadly. When a man buys the last dozen over-iced crullers from donut shop owner Suzanne Hart, she expects that they are going to be eaten. Turns out Desmond Ray is throwing them at the front window of Gabby Williams' resale shop because he's convinced she has stolen a diamond brooch and $10,000 dollars his Aunt Jean had hidden in a coat she took to Gabby's shop. He wants Gabby to admit to the theft and return the missing items. Gabby denies any wrong doing. Desmond threatens both Gabby and Suzanne before storming off. When Desmond turns up dead, suspicion turns to Gabby. It's up to Suzanne to discover the truth before the town turns against Gabby. It doesn't help that Suzanne is distracted by events in her dating life and those of her mom and best friend.

KILLER CRULLERS is an entertaining addition to this cozy mystery series. Ms. Beck provides plenty of potential killers to keep you guessing. We get an update on Suzanne's growing relationship with Jake and check-in with character's we've come to enjoy.

SUMMARY

WELCOME BACK TO DONUT HEARTS—where the coffee is hot, the donuts are fresh, and the crullers are to die for…

As owner of April Springs’s one and only donut shop, Suzanne Hart is privy to the deliciously personal, downright eccentric tastes of her customers. One man is crazy for crullers—heavy on the icing. But when he doesn’t pick up his order, a tall dark stranger buys the whole box. Which he tosses, one drippy cruller at a time, at her friend Gabby’s storefront next door…

The man claims that stolen family valuables ended up in Gabby’s thrift shop. His wild, weird behavior has Suzanne wanting to call the cops. But when he turns up dead—outside of Donut Hearts, no less—the cops come calling for her and Gabby. Can Suzanne prove that their role in the cruller-vandal killing is a cruel, albeit sugar-coated, twist of fate?
