Goodbye Cruller World

Deputy Donut Mystery Series, Book 2

By: Ginger Bolton

Narrated by: Emily Durante

Named after her beloved tabby Deputy Donut, Emily Westhill's donut shop in small-town Fallingbrook, Wisconsin, is doing so well, she's expanding into catering weddings. But a killer is about to crash the reception....

Normally, Emily's eyes tend to glaze over when prospective brides go on about their wedding plans. But when the owner of the clothing shop Dressed to Kill asks Emily to design a donut wall for her reception, she's immediately sweet on the idea. With the help of her father-in-law and business partner - the former police chief of Fallingbrook - she hangs the treats from dowels on the wall, so guests can help themselves.

But that night, when the groom ends up on the floor with signs of poisoning, Emily suspects someone has tampered with her treats. When the groom dies, there's no way to sugarcoat it: She's got a murder on her hands. Despite a list of suspects as long as the guest list, Emily vows to find out who created the killer confection to save her shop's reputation and keep the bride out of handcuffs. She'll have to move fast...before the poisoner takes a powder.

If you’re going to narrate a story based in Wisconsin, maybe try to sound like a Wisconsinite!

I cringed each time the narrator pronounced ‘cruller’ as ‘cruel-ler’. It’s pronounced cr-uh-ler in Wisconsin!!! The story concept was good , if a bit predictable.

Good

If’s a good book, but after reading a few books of Ginger Bolton, it gets boring, because the plot is the same. Someone dies, then long story that makes me eat donuts, then killer is found. But it’s good cozy mystery killer series. If you want action then you probably need something else

so glad this was in the plus section

This author falls into the trap of style with no substance as they say on the Great British Bake off
it reads as if she is generating enough words to meet her editors requirements
Would not recommend for any age level or genre
