About this item

Emily Westhill runs the best donut shop in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin, alongside her retired police chief father-in-law and her tabby Deputy Donut. But after murder claims a favorite customer, Emily can't rely on a sidekick to solve the crime - or stay alive. If Emily has learned anything from her past as a 911 operator, it's to stay calm during stressful situations. But that's a tall order when one of her regulars, Georgia Treetor, goes missing. Georgia never skips morning cappuccinos with her knitting circle. Her pals fear the worst - especially Lois, a close friend who recently moved to town. As evening creeps in, Emily and the ladies search for Georgia at home. And they find her - murdered among a scattering of stale donuts . . .Disturbingly, Georgia's demise coincides with the five-year anniversary of her son's murder, a case Emily's late detective husband failed to solve before his own sudden death. With Lois hiding secrets and an innocent man's life at stake, Emily's forced to revisit painful memories on her quest for answers. Though someone's alibi is full of holes, only a sprinkling of clues have been left behind. And if Emily can't trace them back to a killer in time, her donut shop will end up permanently closed for business . . .



About the Author

Ginger Bolton

I like donuts and I like coffee. I like reading and I like writing. I like lots of things, actually...People gather in donut shops to drink coffee and eat delicious treats, and also to spend time with neighbors and friends. What if a murder occurred in a small town? Wouldn't patrons who spend time enjoying each others' company in the town's favorite coffee shop gossip about the tragedy and the possible culprits? And the people who own that shop would hear things that might lead them to a murderer. Anything could happen...Usually, when people ask where I get my ideas, I say, "Everywhere." That's true, but the idea for a donut shop run by people with connections to a police department came from Cops & Doughnuts. You can read their wonderful story at copsdoughnuts.com. Finally, I have a confession. I have an alias. Readers might know me as Janet Bolin, author of the Threadville Mysteries.Ginger BoltonGingerBolton.comJanet BolinThreadvilleMysteries.com
