The Deputy Donut Mysteries by Ginger Bolton follow Emily Westhill, a donut shop owner in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin, who keeps stumbling into murder cases. Each book features donut-themed wordplay in the title and a new mystery for Emily to solve alongside her cat, Deputy Donut.
Starting with Survival of the Fritters in 2018, the series has grown to eleven books through 2026. The mysteries blend small-town charm with clever plotting, and Emily’s background as a former police detective’s wife gives her both the instincts and the connections to help crack cases.
