About Doughnuts and Disaster: A Small Town Culinary Cozy Mystery
A canceled doughnut order. A deadly secret. And Maddie’s best friend is in the crosshairs.
Baker Madeline “Maddie” Flynn has been delivering jelly doughnuts to her best friend Angel’s salon for a year—so when the order is suddenly canceled, Maddie knows something is wrong. But nothing prepares her for the shocking truth: Angel’s abusive ex-husband is back in Maple Falls. As if that isn’t enough, Maddie’s boyfriend—the town sheriff—is knee-deep in a string of murders, and every clue seems to circle back to Angel.
Someone clearly thinks the sassy Southern hairdresser knows too much, and they’ll stop at nothing to silence her. With danger closing in, Maddie refuses to sit on the sidelines. Alongside her feisty Gran, loyal friends, and her mischievous Maine Coon, Big Red, she’ll have to unravel the truth before Angel becomes the killer’s next victim.
