"Meet Suzanne Hart, owner and operator of Donut Hearts coffee shop in April Springs, North Carolina. After her divorce from Max, and out-of-work actor she's dubbed 'the Great Impersonator,' Suzanne decided to pursue her one true passion in life: donuts. So she cashed in her settlement and opened up shop in the heart of her beloved hometown.

"But when a dead body is dumped on her doorstep like a sack of flour, Suzanne's cozy little shop becomes an all-out crime scene. Now, everyone in town is dropping by for glazed donuts and gruesome details--and they're all suspects. Soon Suzanne--who finds snooping as irresistible as donuts--is poking holes in everyone's alibis..." -- Synopsis from the back of the book

I started it at the doctor's office yesterday, and finished it up sometime last night or early this morning. I couldn't sleep, and it was the perfect light read to keep my mind occupied without revving it up more than it already was. Glazed Murder is your typical Cozy Mystery. The narration, dialogue, and plot move along at a reasonable rate. Granted, the very beginning pages of the book struck me as "off" or somehow "wrong," but that feeling didn't last very long, and things shaped up rather nicely not too far into the story. There are actual donut/pastry recipes at the end of each chapter, and some of them sound really good. I'd never do them. First, I don't own a portable fryer, a waffle maker, or a donut cutter; and second, except for the "easy" donuts made from premade biscuit dough, it all sounds like too much work. But I'm lazy in the kitchen, so it's probably just me. The apple fritters sound pretty good and seem very easy to do. I might actually try them sometime. All in all, this is a good little book, and easy, fun read that I'd recommend to anyone, especially a person with a donut fixation. :)

Left this one on one of the tables in the waiting room. We'll be back Friday to see if someone has caught it or not.
