"My perfect day starts with fresh donuts and
ends with murder" - Walter
In a quiet North Carolina town, Walter and Martha’s decades-long marriage has turned into a comedy of irritation. Walter’s fondness for donuts and innovative approach to tackling financial issues are two secrets he’s determined to keep from his wife. Meanwhile, Martha is fed up with his nonsense and itching for a bit of excitement beyond their predictable life.
In their usually peaceful neighborhood, a mysterious figure starts righting wrongs as they see fit. For Walter, it’s a dream come true—a chance to live out his fantasy of being a detective on the police force. But what begins as small acts of justice quickly spirals into something far greater, with consequences much darker than anyone could have imagined.
Donuts and Deceit is a cozy mystery brimming with small-town charm and a quirky cast of characters. But don’t be fooled by the sweet exterior, though—beneath the surface, a peaceful neighborhood hides secrets that will keep you guessing. Packed with heart, humor, and a twist you won’t see coming, Donuts and Deceit delivers an ending darker than you might expect.
