Chocolate Frosted Murder
Author: Susan Gillard
Heather Janke is attending the 75th birthday party for Theresa Reyes, a family member of two of her employees at Donut Delights. Just as the festivities are ramping up, two police officers show up to notify the family that Gustavo Reyes has been killed. His body was found in the park, along with a gun and drugs. He was picking up his aunt Theresa's birthday present, and family members had commented that he was late. Now, he's not just late...but dead. The family asks Heather to look into his death because they all swear that Gustavo did not use drugs or own a gun. Heather decides to look into it to help the family. A suspect soon relates a story about what supposedly happened in the park, but states it was self defense. Can Heather find out if he's lying?
I'm enjoying this series. Each book is an entertaining, short read. I like the doughnut theme, even though most of the time the title of the book doesn't relate to the story. But then again, it isn't really necessary for the doughnut flavor from the cover to be a part of the story. I like Heather as a main character. She's a strong woman. She respects her detective boyfriend's job and doesn't get angry when he is called away on police business. And, she treats her Donut Delights employees like family.
There are 60 short novels in this series. I'm definitely going to read more of them....they are fun, quick reads. :)
