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.

Juliet ""Jules"" Capshaw, co-owner of the family bakeshop, Torte, and her staff are gearing up to cater the picnic wedding of her good friend Detective Thomas Adams and his fellow detective Kerry Crosby in artsy Ashland, Oregon. During the event set-up, one of the jazz trio hired to play at the reception is murdered, and Kerry's ex-con father is the chief suspect. The wedding proceeds as planned, but Kerry begs Jules to find the real killer while Kerry is on her honeymoon. Other suspects include the two other members of the trio, a respected octogenarian judge, and a park employee. With the approval of her stepfather, the police chief, Jules investigates. A cast of warm, well-drawn characters, a charmingly described setting, and the cooking and baking details, with recipes appended, add up to a satisfying cozy that will appeal to Diane Mott Davidson fans and anyone who enjoys a baking or cooking frame.COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
