Emily Westhill runs the best donut shop in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin, alongside her retired police chief father-in-law and her tabby Deputy Donut. But after murder claims a favorite customer, Emily cant rely on a sidekick to solve the crime--or stay alive. If Emily has learned anything from her past as a 911 operator, its to stay calm during stressful situations. But thats a tall order when one of her regulars, Georgia Treetor, goes missing. Georgia never skips morning cappuccinos with her knitting circle. Her pals fear the worst--especially Lois, a close friend who recently moved to town. As evening creeps in, Emily and the ladies search for Georgia at home. And they find her--murdered among a scattering of stale donuts . . . Disturbingly, Georgias demise coincides with the five-year anniversary of her sons murder, a case Emilys late detective husband failed to solve before his own sudden death. With Lois hiding secrets and an innocent mans life at stake, Emilys forced to revisit painful memories on her quest for answers. Though someones alibi is full of holes, only a sprinkling of clues have been left behind. And if Emily cant trace them back to a killer in time, her donut shop will end up permanently closed for business . . .
