출판사 설명
WELCOME BACK TO DONUT HEARTS—where the coffee is hot, the donuts are fresh, and the crullers are to die for…
As owner of April Springs's one and only donut shop, Suzanne Hart is privy to the deliciously personal, downright eccentric tastes of her customers. One man is crazy for crullers—heavy on the icing. But when he doesn't pick up his order, a tall dark stranger buys the whole box. Which he tosses, one drippy cruller at a time, at her friend Gabby's storefront next door…
The man claims that stolen family valuables ended up in Gabby's thrift shop. His wild, weird behavior has Suzanne wanting to call the cops. But when he turns up dead—outside of Donut Hearts, no less—the cops come calling for her and Gabby. Can Suzanne prove that their role in the cruller-vandal killing is a cruel, albeit sugar-coated, twist of fate?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
At the start of Beck's sprightly sixth mystery featuring April Springs, N.C., donut shop owner Suzanne Hart (after 2011's Tragic Toppings), Desmond Ray admits after buying a dozen crullers from Suzanne that he plans "to throw them at the woman next door," meaning Gabby Williams, the owner of ReNEWed, a gently-used-clothing store. As Desmond pelts the front of Gabby's shop with heavily iced crullers, he accuses Gabby of stealing a diamond brooch and $10,000 in cash from his aunt's donated coat. When Desmond is later found shot dead in the narrow strip of grass between Donut Hearts and ReNEWed, Gabby becomes the prime suspect. With Suzanne's state police officer boyfriend away on an assignment, it's up to her to clear Gabby's name. An astute sleuth and an appealing smalltown setting help make this a winner, along with tempting donut recipes interspersed throughout.
