"Fatally Frosted" by Jessica Beck is another book in Beck's Donut Shop Mystery series starring Suzanne Hart. When a donut from Suzanne's shop proves to be the weapon that murdered a local busy body, she has to figure out who did it to clear her name. This time her police inspector boyfriend, Jake Bishop, is out of town because his niece is in the hospital and that family emergency has him out of the picture. However, Suzanne's ex-husband, Max, wants to be part of her detective team. There are enough suspects to cloud the sleuthing trail but in the end Suzanne successfully solves the case but not without almost becoming a victim herself. This is another fun, quick read by Jessica Beck.
Enjoy!

Failure to Launch
"Failure to Launch" stars Matthew McConaughey as 35 year old Tripp - a man who still lives with his parents. Kathy Bates as his mom and Terry Bradshaw as his father are perfect casting in my opinion! Tripp has it made living at home with his parents because his mother cleans his room, does his laundry, and cooks his meals. When a woman starts to get serious about him, Tripp (who appears to have an aversion to a serious relationship) solves the problem by bringing them home for the night and, when they discover he still lives at home with his parents, the women end the romance and he doesn't have to do a thing.
Tripp's parents learn from some of their friends that they can hire Paula (played by Sarah Jessica Parker) to get Tripp to leave the nest because she is a pro at it. Paula seems to have relationship issues of her own -- doesn't want one!
Paula and Tripp each have a best friend to advise them -- although not always dishing out the best advice as far as I'm concerned! They add their own humor to what is billed as "a bright and breezy romantic comedy" by Gene Shalit of Today. However, this film does have its serious moments when the reasons Tripp and Paula don't want committed relationships comes to light and Paula wants to back out of her deal with Tripp's parents. This is a film well worth watching for the comedy as well as the serious, thought-provoking moments.
