A review by peggyemi
Survival of the Fritters by Ginger Bolton

3.0

Ginger Bolton is a new to me author and this is the first book in her new Deputy Donut Mystery. I found this to be a fun, easy read with a steady pace that had me turning pages. Emily Westhill is a sympathetic, likable main characters. She is a widow still trying to find her footing after the death of her police officer husband a few years earlier. She comes across, at least to me, as caring and genuine. There is an interesting cast of secondary characters that round out the story nicely. This is a first book in a new series, so I am looking forward to seeing the characters develop and grow more.

I thought the mystery was well done. There are clues, twists and turns sprinkled throughout the story and done well enough to throw the reader off the trail of the real killer. There is also the hint of a potential future romance down the road for Emily if she is willing to take the chance.

This book is scheduled for release on January 30th. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy provided to me by the publisher through Netgalley.
