In the grand tradition of eschewing heavy, heady topics as the weather warms, our next book club pick is another foodie mystery book: Evil Eclairs by Jessica Beck!  This one promises to be a fun read and, i’m guessing, a pretty rad potluck!  We should have books available in the store and online starting next week!  See below for book club details.

From the Evil Eclairs book jacket:

Donut shop owner Suzanne Hart admits her sweet treats don’t exactly qualify as health food. But does she really deserve to be labeled a “killer” by local radio jockey Lester Moorefield? The annoying host is urging citizens to boycott Suzanne’s “deadly dough” factory—until he’s found dead himself, stuffed with one of Suzanne’s éclairs…

Everyone in April Springs knows about the feud between Lester and Suzanne, which makes her the number-one suspect. She tries to use the donut defense—donuts don’t kill people, people kill people—but that cream-filled éclair at the scene of the crime has the whole town filled with suspicion. If Suzanne can’t figure out who killed the radio star, she’ll soon be filling a prison cell instead of a pastry…
