A Donut Shop Mystery

Fatally Frosted

On a random note, this is my 200th book read on Goodreads, and I read it in a day! And it was such an easy, quick read.

I've said before that, by far, this is my favorite cozy mystery series. I have read many new to me series, but they haven't had the charm that Donut Hearts produces. Suzanne is a pretty solid female lead, and she really can hold her own when it comes to daily meddling in police affairs. Sure, she calls her boyfriend and police when needed, but I think that is just showing her common sense of when to call in the big guns.

Definitely not on the same level of the first and third book in the beginning, though. Some of the characters, right at the end of the murder, we're not acting in a normal manner and jumped to conclusions that seemed too scripted to be believeable. Once we got through some of the awkwardness, it improved greatly.
