Assault and Batter, Book 11 in the Donut Mystery Series!

When Emily Hargraves tells Suzanne that she's marrying Max, her ex-husband, Suzanne is happy enough for her, but when Jude Williams, one of Emily's old flames, decides to light the ceremony up, someone decides to extinguish his flame before he can act. Was it Max, the groom-to-be; Peter, his best man; Lisa, the woman Jude had been dating; her jealous husband, Frank; or perhaps it was Reggie Nance, a man who had reasons of his own to want to see Jude dead? Suzanne and Grace must act quickly and solve the murder before someone else ends up missing the reception, permanently.
