But Heather has to contend with the press, a particularly nosy - and cheesy - maître d'hôtel, and the constant battle to stay on top of affairs while her wedding date draws closer and closer. Heather must figure out who poisoned her beloved lemon chiffon icing, but the zest might be too sour for her to handle this time around.… (more)

Heather Jayne and her fiance Ryan Shepherd are in Paris with friends to celebrate their wedding. Staying at the Hotel Saint James, everything seems magical until one of the guests drops dead after eating one of Heather's doughnuts in the hotel kitchen. Who poisoned Jane Duvall? Heather's employee Angelica who came to help with the wedding is arrested, but Heather knows she had nothing to do with the crime. Ryan and Heather team up, along with Heather's BFF Amy, to prove Angelica's innocence and find the real killer.

This is my least favorite book in this series so far. The French characters are stereotypes....rude hotel staff, snooty chefs, impossibly ridiculous reporters. And the author chose to use the term "frog'' to refer to French people. I don't like that. This one just fell a bit flat for me. I hope the next one is better.

Lemon Chiffon Murder is the 8th book in the Donut Hole Mystery series. The books are short and light reading. The plots are simple, but the characters are likable and the doughnut shop theme is entertaining. (
