Goodbye Cruller World

 Goodbye Cruller World is the 2nd Deputy Donut book by Ginger Bolton.   Set in WI it is a great cozy read for those with a sweet tooth and coffee lovers alike.   Bolton describes the brew of the day and the different specialty donuts they serve at Deputy Donuts.   I listened to this book on audio while on a road trip and it was so easy to visualize the food and the settings.   Emily's relationship with her cat, Dep- the namesake of Deputy Donut, is a great centerpiece to the story.   This series has a rivalry between professional detectives versus the more traditional amateur vs pro scenario.  In this case Brent willing takes assistance from Emily, but Yvonne from the state CID is the antagonistic investigator.  


The clues point at many different suspects and the storyline is well written and works through the different options.  The outcome does end up being a bit of a surprise. I look forward to reading more books about Emily, Dep and their friends.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The characters are the stars in the Deputy Donut series and the plot is well structured. The reader is kept guessing throughout. The premise behind the Deputy Donut store and Emily’s relationship with the main characters are well thought out and intriguing. There is some fun matchmaking intertwined that makes it a fun and light plot line. The mystery itself is quite complex and the possible guilt pointed at several realistic choices. The series is engaging and I look forward to reading more
