Doughnuts and Disaster

Maddie's Best Friend Is in Danger. Can She Solve the Mystery Before It's Too Late?

Maddie Flynn has been baking jelly doughnuts for Angel's salon for a year—so when the order is suddenly canceled, she knows something is wrong. But she never expected the real trouble to be Angel's abusive ex-husband sneaking back into town.

To make matters worse, Maddie's boyfriend—the town sheriff—is struggling to crack a string of murders, and the clues all point to Angel. Someone clearly believes the sassy Southern hairdresser knows too much—and they'll do anything to keep their deadly secrets buried.

With a ruthless killer on the loose and Angel in the crosshairs, Maddie must race against time to unravel the truth. Because if she doesn't, her best friend might not live to tell the tale.
