Today I am reviewing "Donut Disturb" the 13th instalment in the A Bakeshop Mystery series by Ellie Alexander. It releases on June 28, 2022.
The filling is looking grim for pastry chef and amateur sleuth Juliet Capshaw in Donut Disturb, the next in Ellie Alexander's beloved Bakeshop Series.
Love is in bloom in Ashland, Oregon. The Shakespearean hamlet is bursting with fresh spring energy. Fragrant lilacs and the sweet aroma of vanilla cake fill the air as everyone in town gathers at Lithia Park for the celebration of the year—Thomas and Kerry’s wedding.
It’s a picture perfect day. Guests gather on picnic blankets in front of the bandshell to watch Kerry walk down the aisle and wed Ashland’s favorite detective in training, Thomas. Jules and her team at Torte have been tasked with catering the outdoor reception and everything is going according to plan, until a wedding crasher shows up.
The uninvited guest isn’t just someone looking to score a free glass of champagne. It’s Kerry’s estranged father who is supposed to be behind bars. Kerry is distraught. Jules vows to do everything she can to make sure that there are no other surprises on her friend’s big day. But when the bassist for Heart Strings, the wedding band, is found stabbed with the blunt end of his instrument Jules’s promise takes on new meaning. Now she’ll have to slice through the five tiered cake and a bevy of potential suspects in order to track down a killer before they turn the knife on her.
Visiting Torte and Ashland is like coming home to old friends and family lots of fun with a bit of chaos thrown in for good measure. Jules and Carlos have found their place, home and family of friends and now is it time to expand their family... Needless to say I cant wait for the next book.
The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and there were just enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. Don’t get me started on the descriptions of all the desserts, drinks and food, I think I gain weight every time I read one of Ellie’s books. I like that recipes are included in back of the book too
I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.
