Dollycas's Thoughts
_____
Emily has always had a special relationship with the Fallingbrook law enforcement community. She was a 911 dispatcher until the day her detective husband was killed in the line of duty. In Cinnamon Twisted, that relationship is tested as a new police chief is hired and he is faced with his first murder. Because he pins top suspect honors on Emily her new boyfriend Detective Brent Fyne is sent away on an assignment in Green Bay. I enjoyed this twist even though I was furious with the new chief and his attitude and actions. Emily's determination impressed me and it was nice that she had support from Fyne even from afar and that DCI Agent Rex Clobar had her back and common sense. As always the relationship Emily has with her former in-laws always warms my heart. Ms. Bolton's core characters are always so genuine and true to life.
I loved the history that was woven through the entire story. The history of Emily's house was so interesting complete with Viking relics. I always love learning new things.
The complex mystery was so cleverly plotted that the reveal was almost a total surprise. I had just a little inkling about part of it but needed some of the info that was provided at the end to firm up my theory.
Donuts to "donuts" Cinnamon Twisted is a splendid addition to this series. The ending was wonderful and perfectly timed. I truly can't wait for the next installment of the Deputy Donut Mysteries.
