Mystery Culinary

Suzanne and her friend, Grace will be drawn into another murder investigation when Suzanne once again comes under suspicion of committing murder. Suzanne had a disagreement with her friend, the local blacksmith. When he is discovered dead a little later, Suzanne becomes a person of interest in the investigation. With the police chief dating her mother, Suzanne, really isn't considered a suspect for long but Suzanne can't help but be drawn into finding out who killed James Settle. What she will learn will turn everyone's ideas of who James was upside down. The small town setting with the long term relationships make this series a winner for me. In a small way, I envy the friendship that Suzanne and Grace share. This series and the relationships of the main character increase my appreciation of the mysteries which are top notch.

SUMMARY

Donut shop owner Suzanne Hart knows how to treat her customers. But sometimes life can get a bit sticky. When a spat she has with a local blacksmith—one that could have been solved with a handshake and a mixed dozen—ends with his murder, Suzanne is caught dead in her tracks. Suddenly everyone in April Springs has their eyes on her. And they’re hungry with suspicion. 

Left with little choice but to catch the killer herself, Suzanne starts lining up suspects. But her case is full of holes. How did the killer strike in the middle of the day without a single witness to the crime? Who knew that the humble blacksmith was actually an heir to a family fortune? The heat is on as Suzanne tries to solve the case and save her business. Can she have her cake-donut and eat it too?
