Review; Boston Scream Murder (Deputy Donut Mystery #4) by Ginger Bolton
Last year I was fortunate enough to recieve an ARC of the cosy mystery Boston Scream Murder (Deputy Donut Mystery #4) by Ginger Bolton though Netgalley. I read it shortly afterwards and today I'll post my review.
Description from Goodreads
Halloween in the small town of Fallowbrook, Wisconsin, is the perfect season for Deputy Donut Café owner Emily Westhill to unmask a killer.
October 31st is just around the corner and Emily Westhill's Boston cream donuts, carved with a scream, have made an indelible impression on local eccentric Rich Royalson. So much so that he's ordered three dozen, with twice the fudge icing, for his 70th birthday--a special event in more ways than one. It's to be held on fog-shrouded Lake Fleekom where, twenty years ago, his wife mysteriously drowned.
But the next day, when Emily arrives with her scrumptious screamers, she stumbles upon Rich's corpse. The poor guy wanted a unique birthday bash--just not one to the side of his skull. With a guest list of possible perpetrators, and his last will and testament suspiciously left at the scene, Emily soon discovers that the Royalson closet is rattling with skeletons. As the fog thickens, motives mount, and the tricks outnumber the treats, Emily fears that Rich may not be the last one in Fallowbrook to go out screaming.

My Thoughts on the Book
Boston Scream Murder was such a fun and entertaining read. I loved the baking and kayaking-aspects of the book, in addition to several of the characters, Emily included. The plot and storyline was also well written and engaging.
