Praise for Death by Chocolate Frosted Doughnut

“A treat for aficionados of shopkeeper-sleuth cozies.”
—Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Sarah Graves’ previous mystery, Death by Chocolate Malted Milkshake
 
“Jacobia ‘Jake’ Tiptree, the star of Graves’s Home Repair Is Homicide series . . . is back in this charming series launch. . . . The characters are appealing, and down east Maine is a delightful place to visit. Graves fans will enjoy catching up with old friends.” 
—Publishers Weekly 
 
“Sympathetic characters, effective plot twists, a vividly described small-town Maine setting, and the baking frame add to this satisfying cozy that will appeal to fans of Joanne Fluke and Diane Mott Davidson (for the baking details) and Leslie Meier (for the Maine setting).” 
—Booklist

“It’s especially nice to get to know all the members of Jake’s large household as they plan together for the future, unaware of the peril that looms over Eastport in the form of the mysterious ship.”  
—Criminal Element 
 
“As her handywoman heroine reinvents herself in chocolate, Graves adds enough physical danger to her comfy tale of small-town mayhem to move it into the . . . range of the cozy thriller. Gives new currency to the phrase ‘baking up a storm.’” 
—Kirkus Reviews
 
“A welcome return to Eastport and the long familiar characters that continue to please, but this time with a recipe at the end that will please even more.” 
—Maine Quoddy Times
 
“Returning fans will appreciate the character growth and development featured throughout the new book, and the opportunity to catch up with some fan-favorite minor characters.”
—Maine News Observer
 
“The mystery is a good one . . . readers will be happy to see [Jake and Ellie’s] new adventure . . . And yes, Ellie shares her grandmother’s recipe for Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake. The cover art alone is enough to make you crave a big slice.” 
—Kings River Life

“Graves pulls the story together at the end with an exciting scene that identifies the real culprit and brings that individual to justice.”
—The New York Journal of Books
