Synopsis:
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.
The cover was what attracted me towards it. The Kitten on it looking at the donut's made me want to know more about it. A couple minutes reading about it told me it had a kitten named Deputy Donut and a Donut shop named after her. AND I was totally sold on the book. After reading it, I am totally in kitty heaven.
Donut's has been something that I never really liked much. After reading it I think it is probably because we do not have donut's like the ones that is mentioned in this book.. Deputy Donut shop made me want to try those delicious sounding donut's.
Survival of the Fritters tests the bonds of friendship, mends it and shows you that friendship is all about.
This is a cozy unlike the other's in the sense that usually the mystery is wrapped up with hilarious and crazy characters which did not really get included in this book. But that being said I did not completely miss it.
Like real life people there are things you like about them and things you do not like about them. I do feel the same with Emily. She trusts her friends. Is not willing to give up on them. If there is something they need help with she will help them even if she did not like to or want to do it. After all, those are her friends. In that the author did a great job with portraying all the characters.
The plot was well crafted. A murder of a son and then the mother years apart but the same date. Kept me guessing and coming back.
The climax was intense. But the ending gave me hope that fate is not cruel. Second Chances do happen.
