About this item
October 31 is just around the corner and Emily Westhill's Boston cream donuts, carved with a scream, have made an indelible impression on local eccentric Rich Royalson. So much so that he's ordered three dozen, with no screaming faces and twice the fudge frosting, for his seventieth birthday - a special event in more ways than one. It's to be held on fog-shrouded Lake Fleekom where, twenty years ago, his wife mysteriously drowned. But the next day, when Emily arrives with her Boston cream donuts, she stumbles upon Rich's corpse. The poor guy wanted a unique birthday bash - just not one to the side of his skull. With a guest list of possible perpetrators left at the scene, Emily soon discovers that the Royalson closet is rattling with skeletons. As the fog thickens, motives mount, and the tricks outnumber the treats, Emily fears that Rich may not be the last one in Fallingbrook to go out screaming.
About the Author
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
