When Heather Shepherd caters the spookiest party in town during Halloween, the last thing she expects is to find the host's dead body on the back porch. She's shocked to the core and even more so when she realizes that the murderer can only have been one of the party guests. This time around everyone's a suspect. Equipped with her desire to find the truth, a few snippets of information gleaned from the other partygoers and her specialty Spooky Choc Orange Glazed Donuts, Heather sets out to solve the Halloween case before the killer can strike again. But, as usual, things aren't as simple as they seem: the maid avoids her, a teenager throws one tantrum too many, and a mystery figure is spotted hanging around the victim's home. Heather has to wade through red tape and catch the killer before it's too late. Solving this mystery may prove more difficult than wading through a bowl of her cookie dough.

Spooky Choc Orange Donut Murder is the 23rd novella-length story in the Donut Hole Mystery series. The stories are light, cozy mysteries that are perfect for those times a mystery lover just wants something short and sweet to read. I turn to this series as a sort of palate cleanser between the tense, suspenseful thriller and horror novels I enjoy. Sometimes I just need a happy ending and a mystery that is quick, simple and just entertaining. I like the characters in the Donut Hole series, the stories are quick to read, and they are definitely cozy mysteries -- no cussing, no gore, no sex or explicit situations. It's a nice break from more adult mysteries that incorporate much more graphic violence and situations.
Although this series does have a serious need for better editing, the books are enjoyable. I can read over typos and figure out incorrect words...but it does pull me out of the story. There are errors that a professional editor will find that spell check programs will not -- like typos that are actually words and slight continuity errors. But, for me, the likable characters, fast paced, simple mysteries and cute doughnut shop background theme make up for the little mistakes here and there. This series is fun and entertaining....it doesn't have to be perfect. It's my go-to series when I need to reset my reading zen before diving into murkier waters with books that portray grisly murders, rape, kidnappings, etc. I can sip hot tea, laugh at Dave the Dog, and let my mind just be entertained. Brain candy. This series does give me doughnut cravings though.....and there is a doughnut shop 3 blocks from my house. :)
There are 60 books the Donut Hole series. But don't panic -- the books are quick, short reads...so don't let 60 books stop you from reading this series.There is also a spin-off series, Oceanside Mysteries, that features the same characters. Right now there are 28 books in the Oceanside series with Susan Gillard adding new books frequently. Someday I will catch up with her....I'm almost halfway through the Donut Hole series! On to the next book! ( )
