Love is blooming in Ashland, Oregon.

The Shakespearean hamlet is bursting with fresh spring energy. Fragrant lilacs and the sweet aroma of vanilla cake fill the air as everyone in town gathers at Lithia Park for the celebration of the yearâ??Thomas and Kerry's wedding.

It's a picture perfect day. Guests gather on picnic blankets in front of the bandshell to watch Kerry walk down the aisle and wed Ashland's favorite detective in training, Thomas. Jules and her team at Torte have been tasked with catering the outdoor reception and everything is going according to planâ??until a wedding crasher shows up. The uninvited guest isn't just someone looking to score a free glass of champagne. It's Kerry's estranged father who is supposed to be behind bars.

Kerry is distraught. Jules vows to do everything she can to make sure that there are no other surprises on her friend's big day. But when the bassist for Heart Strings, the wedding band, is found stabbed with the blunt end of his instrument Jules's promise takes on new meaning.

Now she will have to slice through the five tiered cake and a bevy of potential suspects in order to track down a killer before they turn the knife on her… (meer)

Donut Disturb by Ellie Alexander is the 15th A Bakeshop Mystery. It can be read as a standalone if you are new to the series. I found Donut Disturb to be easy to read. I like the author’s writing style. It is light and casual. Jules and Carlos have settled into their new home and are enjoying their time together. Both are busy but they make sure to make time for each other. I enjoyed learning more about Kerry. We finally learn about her background and why she is the way she is (totally makes sense now). There is plenty of baking and cooking. The food descriptions will have your mouth watering. Brett, a bass player with Heart Strings, ends up dead in a park storage area. Jules stumbles upon the scene. I found it odd the way Jules acted upon seeing the victim. This is not her first rodeo. By now, Jules should be used to seeing dead bodies (I do not expect her to be casual, but I did not expect her to act like this is the first time she has seen such a sight). I expected her to take note of the scene and any potential clues. I did not expect her to freeze up and go into shock. In fact, Jules seemed to freeze up frequently. Whenever she would end up alone with a suspect, she acted like they were going to attack her any second. Jules is a smart woman who has to think on her feet in the bakery. I expected her to be logical and no act like a scaredy cat. I could excuse it once, but it happened multiple times. There are several suspects in this whodunit along with a red herring or two. There are good clues to help readers solve the crime before the reveal. I enjoyed the lovely word depictions of Lithia Park. It is a lovely park, and I can see why the wedding took place in that location. Donut Disturb is an upbeat cozy mystery with an offender father, park nuptials, a stabbed bass player, the problematic Richard Lord, curious clues, delicious donuts, and a tricky takedown. ( )

"Donut Disturb" continues the sleuthing adventures of Juliet Capshaw and her bakeshop team in Ashland, Oregon. As Juliet and friends prepare to cater an outdoor wedding, sinister happenings threaten to put a pause on the wedding festivities. First, the bride's dad shows up unexpectedly. Second, a musician from the trio providing wedding music turns up dead. As Juliet adds possible suspects to her list, her own life may be in danger, and as always, things are not as they seem.

Fans of the Bakeshop mysteries will be attracted to this latest offering in the series, although it can be read as a stand alone. Past readers will welcome old friends among the characters. Enough background detail is provided to bring new readers of this series up to speed on the characters and past events. Readers who like a lot of detail about baking, catering, and decorating will find this to be a yummy read, although some readers might find a bit too much detail is included. This is a clean read, without a lot of gory details, no swearing, and no overt intimacy. The author ends the story with a nice setup for the next novel about Juliet and team.

I received this novel from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own. ( )
