Goodbye Cruller World

Emily Westhill and Deputy Donuts are busily preparing two types of donuts for the donut wall at her friend Jenn's upcoming wedding. But it appears not everything is sugar and spice as the wedding approaches in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin. In Goodbye Cruller World by Ginger Bolton Jenn's fiance Roger is a bully and she is having second thoughts about marrying him. (Goodbye Cruller World will be released August 28 by Kensington Books.)

Her sister Suzanne is also a bully and keeps pushing Jenn to cancel. When the night of the wedding arrives, Emily and her partner and father-in-law Tom set up the donut wall, carefully labeling the side which holds Roger's favorite donuts and the side that holds Jenn. When Roger winds up dead during the reception with donuts crammed in his mouth and pockets, Emily fears for her business and hopes Jenn isn't the killer.

There are plenty of suspects including Jenn's former boyfriend, a guest at the wedding; a strange security guard and two women looking for the Happy Hopers Convention.

While trying to discover who killed Roger, Emily is also busy trying to match make for her EMT friend Samantha, her police officer friend Misty and fire chief Scott, completely missing the signals from her friend Brent. As Roger was not well liked (even his groomsmen were hired high schoolers raising money for their team), it appears the police think his bride makes a good suspect. Newly widowed and about to inherit a large sum of money, Jenn makes the ideal candidate.

But Emily is sure her sweet friend could not have committed the crime and she sets out to find the real killer. Even though she promises Brent she will not get involved, Emily finds herself face-to-face with the killer.

Trust me on this, don't read this book if you are on a diet. You will be craving donuts after you finish, I know from experience.
