It is Christmas Eve Eve and everyone is excited about the new donut that will be released the day after Christmas. Unfortunately, there will be one more murder to solve before Christmas. I loved the excitement in this book and can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

Heather is ready for a relaxing Christmas with her family. Once again the Key West Santa is making deliveries of presents.
A package explodes and a man is dead. Guess Heather may not have a relaxing Christmas after all as another case needs to be solved.
Can Heather and Amy solve this case and enjoy the holidays with family??
Yummy donut, quirky characters always make this series a fun read.

Crunchy Nut Fudge & Murder
Heather always figures it out in the end. From the making of her wonderful donut flavors to finding out who the murderer is. Cannot wait to see what happens next.
