Beyond a Reasonable Donut

A Deputy Donut Mystery

Selling her corn fritters at a carnival, Deputy Donut Café owner Emily Westhill faces off against a murderer who doesn’t play fair . . .

Emily and her assistant, Nina, are looking forward to manning the Deputy Donut tent at the Faker’s Dozen Carnival in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin—a festival held on Friday the thirteenth to celebrate good and bad luck. But Emily has barely dropped the corn fritters in oil when bad luck boils up. First, their bucket of confectioner’s sugar disappears—and then while a mime creates a distraction, a magician robs their cash register.

After the carnival, their misfortune continues. Emily discovers that someone has broken into artist Nina’s loft and vandalized a large painting in progress with the bucket of stolen sugar, which is now on the head of the mime, who seems to have been suffocated. Emily would bet Nina was the intended victim, but the cops think Nina silenced the mime. Now Emily must catch the killer white–handed—before someone else kicks the bucket . . .

A Deputy Donut friend’s wedding

Beyond a Reasonable Donut is the 5th wonderful book in Ginger Bolton’s Deputy Donut Mystery series. Emily Westhill owns Deputy Donuts and they have a fritter stand at the Faker’s Dozen Festival. A mime creates a distraction and a magician steals money from them. A bucket of confectioners sugar is stolen from the donut mobile and they find it later along with a dead body. Emily’s coworker and friend Nina is a suspect. Samantha and Hooligan are getting married! That adds some fun to the story. This is such an enjoyable series and the characters are awesome! I always look forward to the next book. The audiobook narrated by Emily Durante is very well done and the characters come to life.
