But will her biggest clue come too late? Book 7 - Red, White and Blueberry Murder When Heather Janke hears that her oldest and most faithful customer, Eva Schneider, has been bonked on the head and is in hospital, she's shocked to the core.

But Heather has to balance her honeymoon festivities with the case, and the harder she digs for the truth, the muddier the mystery becomes, thanks to a cast of eccentric and rather infuriated Italian suspects. Heather must discover the truth, before the sweet coffee glaze on the donut that is her Honeymoon, dries out and she's left with nothing but questions. Book 10 - Rhubarb Frosted Murder When Heather Shepherd arrives at Amy's boyfriend's house, the last thing she expects to find is Kent unconscious and a new murder to solve. But that's exactly what happens, and things only get worse when it's revealed that Amy is the prime suspect and Kent has amnesia. With nothing but her Rhubarb Frosted donuts and her keen sense of adventure, she determines to solve the case before the killer can strike again. But the closer Heather gets to the truth, the worse Amy's behavior becomes - her paranoia is at an all-time high. Heather must choose: delve into the donut hole or leave this case as uncooked batter - either way, there's a mystery to sleuth, and this one is the trickiest so far.

But Detective Ryan Shepherd realizes there's more to this death than meets the eye when he discovers that Verna was not killed by a flying piece of wood, as was originally suspected. Why would anyone want to kill Verna? That's the question bothering Ryan and Heather. There's no apparent motive, and no one knows seems to know where to begin looking for suspects.
