My Thoughts:
This book was fun and a great cozy mystery, it is the story of Suzanne Hart who owns a Donut shop in North Carolina. While starting work one day at 2 a.m a body is dumped infront of her Donut Shop, she recognizes it as a local donut lover.
She can't help but want to solve the murder and restore her donut shop's reputation. While digging into the murder she meets Jake Bishop a state police inspector sent to solve the crime of the banker dumped at the donut shop. The two make a connection of sorts during this story. We also meet Suzanne's mother a true southern woman who worries about her daughter getting herself into jams during this story, and is always waiting for her daughter to start dating after a bad divorce.
Max Suzanne's ex-husband is desperate to win his wife back regardless of his cheating heart. Suzanne does her best to get it through his head that there is no way no how. Which brings out Max's temper wanting Suzanne for himself, and a jealousy over Jake.
There are no shortage of suspects, even some cops are suspects. There is the crazy ex-wife, the cheating girlfriend, some business associates who even raise a red flag in Suzanne's head. In the end it takes Suzanne and Jake and the donut shop to bring the villain to justice.
