While I enjoyed this one, I don't think I liked it quite as much as the first. I guess I expected more development in the characters, especially between Jack & Suzanne. Unfortunately, that doesn't really happen...
At times this book felt more like a re-hash of the first also. Suzanne's bumbling through the murder investigation seemed charming in the first book, but I kind of found it annoying in this one... she doesn't even figure out the murderer until the last few pages of the book, while I had them pegged by about the third chapter! I found it easy to lay the book down.
I'll probably give the third book a try when it comes out, but hopefully the author will have something new for us to read!

Suzanne finds herself involved with another murder when the victim is poisoned by one of her donuts. Grace is back as the best friend that will do anything to help. The relationship with Jake seems strained and distant. Twists and turns to find the killer. 3.5 stars
