where the coffee is hot, the donuts are fresh, and the pastries aren’t the only thing getting iced…

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. 

“A delight. Suzanne Hart is a lovable amateur sleuth.” —Diane Mott Davidson

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?

“The perfect comfort read [with] a likeable heroine, quirky Southern characters—and donut recipes!” —Rhys Bowen
