Especially when she discovers one of the main suspects is her newest assistant, Ken. With nothing but her eccentric puppy dog, Dave, and her burning desire to help put Eva's attacker behind bars, she sets out on another sleuthing endeavor, determined to find the truth. But Heather has more to deal with than just the case: she has to balance a busy Donut Delights with the busy season in full swing, as well as the plans for her impending nuptials to her handsome detective fianc�, who is less than impressed with her extracurricular activities. Heather must get to the center of the mystery, but this one might turn out to be deeper than a donut hole. Book 8 - Lemon Chiffon Murder When Heather Janke hosts her engagement party in Paris, France, the last thing she expects to find out is that one of her guests has been poisoned by one of her donuts.

Heather decides she won't let an impending arrest ruin her honeymoon, and with Ryan's help, she sleuths her way from the kitchen of the hotel all the way to the top of entertainment in Venice. 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.
