Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut

Haunted Craft Fair Mystery #4

by Rose Pressey

The ghost of an Elvis impersonator has got psychic painter Celeste Cabot all shook up...

Celeste has pulled up in her pink Shasta trailer, aka mobile art studio, to the Sevier County Fair in the mountains of eastern Tennessee to sell her paintings. A highlight of the fair promises to be the celebrity impersonation contest. But the low point is when Celeste and her floppy-eared white Chihuahua Van (short for Van Gogh) find an Elvis impersonator in his trailer doing a great impression of a corpse, clutching a doughnut in his hand.

Seeking a vision to solve the crime, Celeste paints her own Elvis portrait—and suddenly the ghost of the Elvis impersonator appears. They say fools rush in, but with the help of this spirit, Celeste sets out to find the real killer among all the fake celebrities. It’s now or never, because there won’t be time to tell the “Don’t be cruel.”

Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut by Rose Pressey is the fourth book in the paranormal cozy Haunted Craft Fair Mysteries series. As with most cozy series each of the books in this series features it’s own mystery that will be fully solved within the book so each can be read as a standalone or in any order if choosing to do so. However, there is of course character building that carries over from book to book for those that follow the series from the beginning.

Celeste Cabot is an artist who has bought herself a small travel trailer in which she and her dog spend most of their time traveling from craft fair to craft fair. This allows Celeste the ability to spend her days painting as she sits in her booth outside the trailer at the fairs actually trying to sell her work to customers.One day at a fair however Celeste has a customer return one of her paintings claiming it is haunted and makes mysterious things happen. After investigating her paintings closer Celeste learns that there are hidden images within that she doesn’t purposely paint, weirder still somehow these paintings can summon ghosts.

Celeste has now travelled to the mountains of eastern Tennessee where she has set up her trailer at the latest craft fair being held at the Sevier County Fair. Not only does the Sevier County Fair hosts booths such as Celeste’s selling her artwork but there in also a celebrity impersonation contest going on. As Celeste checks out the new fair she couldn’t help but notice all the impersonators around the event. However, Celeste never expected to check out a trailer where an Elvis impersonator had been killed. Of course knowing another killer is among them at the fair Celeste paints herself a portrait to summon another ghost to help her solve the crime.

I have followed the Haunted Craft Fair Mysteries series from the beginning since I am one that loves a good mixed genre read. With this series being one has the touch of paranormal in the cozy setting with a ghost helping to solve the mysteries I couldn’t help but like the series. As always I enjoyed Celeste snooping around to find a killer and had a good chuckle at the Elvis impersonator being involved. This latest installment could have used a few more suspects but it was still fun to read as the others have been so of course I’ll still be back for more in the series in the future.

I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley.

This cozy series wrapped up with this fourth story. The mystery was rather formulatic and predictable after having read the previous stories. I felt like the plot wandered off track. I did like the protagonist and her chihuahua, and the idea of finding the clues hidden in Celeste’s paintings was always a neat idea.

Celeste Cabot enjoys pulling up to a craft fair in her pink Shasta trailer. Selling her paintings at the local fair keeps her busy, but she seems to find time to get wrapped up in a murder investigation.
Elvis is in the building, well, at the craft fair anyway, and everywhere she looks, all she sees is Elvis.
Following her instincts, Celeste finds a dead body, and even though everyone tells her to not get involved, she can't resist.
Hopefully Celeste can get the answers she needs with the help of her new ghostly friend.

I always have a great time reading a book in this series. There are so many fun characters, and her family always cracks me up.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.

Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut is the fourth installment in the A Haunted Craft Fair Mystery series featuring painter Celeste Cabot and her chihuahua Van (short for Van Gogh). Celeste has arrived at the Sevier County Fair and is looking forward to selling her paintings in between enjoying the rides, food and celebrity impersonators.

Walking back to her trailer on night one, Celeste sees someone sneaking out of a neighboring trailer and when she goes over to take a peek finds a dead Elvis on the floor clutching a doughnut. Despite the warnings of the two detectives (and her romantic interests) Caleb and Pierce, Celeste shimmies her way into the heart of the investigation and soon finds the killer's spotlight on her.

A fun way to spend an afternoon but so many things about this series leave me confused. Most crafters and fair carnies head out out on the road for the Summer season. Yet it seems that Celeste is always within minutes of her home, her parents, brothers and best friend show up randomly and Celeste takes meals at her Aunt's diner.
Plus, could Celeste be any more careless? If you are being stalked by a killer wouldn't you smarten up and stop marching all around the fairgrounds in the pitch dark or perhaps leave your trailer and spend a night at home?
This addition wasn't as enjoyable for me as I didn't think that the ghost Donald did much to contribute to the investigation and wasn't as interactive as the past ghosts that Celeste has painted.

I received an advanced copy of Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut from NetGalley via Kensington Publishing. While not required to write a review I am happy to offer my honest opinion.

Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut” the 4th instalment in the "Haunted Craft Fair" Mystery series by Rose Pressey. I am a huge fan of Rose Pressey and this series. It can be read as a standalone but I think it should be read in order.

The ghost of an Elvis impersonator has got psychic painter Celeste Cabot all shook up...

The protagonist Celeste is a likeable, entertaining fun main character, with quirky supporting characters her family, her BFF Sammie and her faithful companion Van the Chihuahua.

The mystery is interesting and well plotted, and had plenty of twists to keep you engrossed till the end. The love triangle I’m hoping will come to an end in the next book..

I recommend this book to all my cozy lover friends.

I requested and received an advance reader copy of this book from Kensington Books and Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is mystery with a ghost in it that is a good and quick read for mystery and ghost Fans. When Celeste, an artist, attends a fair to sell her art from the trailer she pulls with her (and lives in), she stumbles upon a dead body and must do everything she can to help solve the murder. Things are more complicated because the victim as well as many suspects are Elvis impersonators, and are impossible to tell apart.

Really hope a 5th book is coming!

[Samantha · Rating 4 out of 5]

While I miss the Haunted Vintage series, this one is quickly becoming a fave too. I don't know that I can see sustainability in finding dead bodies at every single fair she goes too, it'll be fun while it lasts. This is the 4th installment in the Haunted Craft Fair series, and having read them all, I feel as though it can easily be read as a standalone.

On a side note, are either of these men ever going to kiss Miss Celeste?

Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a fun series and this book is no exception. The main protagonist Celeste Cabot and her family and friends are highly entertaining. The mystery is interesting with plenty of twists and turns to keep you glue to the pages. Looking forward to more of this series.

All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.

I have been a big fan of cozy mysteries since high school, and I always love discovering new series of them. Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut has a lot in common with many of my favorite cozy mysteries: an amateur detective, a small town setting, a love triangle. However, the paranormal element of this series set it apart from many of the others I read.

Celeste Cabot is a psychic painter. In fact, her paintings give her clues that lead her to solving the murder in Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut. Her powers also mean that she can see the ghost of the murder victim, which made this investigation especially interesting. My immediate thought was to ask why Donald couldn’t just tell Celeste who killed him, but Pressey does address that. "'Hey, I’m trying,' Donald said, forgetting Caleb couldn’t hear him. 'You try recalling the details of your own murder.'” While this isn’t necessarily the most convincing explanation, I was glad to see that my question was anticipated and addressed. I enjoyed getting to “know” the murder victim in the story as that doesn’t usually happen in the murder mysteries I’ve read.

Like many other cozy mystery series, there is a romantic plotline. Two people: Caleb and Pierce are both interested in Celeste romantically. As they are both detectives, Celeste calls them throughout the story when she finds a clue or finds herself in danger. I wanted to find myself invested in this story, but there wasn’t enough development in Caleb or Pierce’s characters for me to feel attached to either one of them. It is possible that I would feel differently if I’d read the other books in the series.

In many of the cozy mysteries I’ve read, there isn’t really a sense of danger that threads through the entire story. The amateur detective tends to find themselves in a scary situation with the murderer as they solve the case, but that tends to be the extent of moments like that. Celeste finds herself confronting the murderer at serveral points throughout the book. She finds herself in a car chase and finds herself lured to a fun house under false pretenses. She also finds indications that the murderer has been hanging around her trailer. These moments made me feel a sense of urgency that I enjoyed.

There are several moments of vivid description that really set the scene for the craft fair where Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut takes place. The book opens with a description that pulls the reader into Celeste’s world. "The last rays of sunset faded and the sky turned a deep navy blue as evening arrived at the Servier County Fair. A late summer breeze ruffled the leaves of nearby oak trees. Lights dazzled on the Ferris wheel and carousel, waiting for the nighttime riders." This description made me want to be at the fair with Celeste and her family and friends.

One of my favorite elements of cozy mysteries are recipes and discussion of food. This one does have a few recipes and plenty of discussion around food. However, I had a difficult time with the amount of food shaming I felt throughout the story. Celeste refers to a “weak moment” when she orders a deep fried Oreo and references that her mother calls a concession booth “the sugar coma stand.” It is so important that moral value not be assigned to food, and there was too much of that going on here for my liking.

I don’t think I’ll be reading the other Haunted Craft Fair mysteries, but I found Murder Can Frost Your Donut compelling enough.

[April · Rating 3 out of 5]

Celeste Cabot returns in a craft fair taking place at a fair - likely a state fair as it has rides, plenty of food options along with an impersonator competition and entertainment.
Celeste’s family arrives early. One this first night Celeste finds an Elvis impersonator dead. She thinks maybe the killer saw her so she is determined to investigate.
What follows is stubbornness, silliness and a complete disregard for safety - her own.
I liked Celeste in the first book and her dog Van or Vincent Van Gogh. Her paintings sound lovely and very interesting with their hidden messages. I liked Caleb.

By the fourth book, I would have hoped I would be further pulled into the series. That is not the case, Celeste becomes harder for me to like with each passing book. She is one of those heroine stories that is almost too stupid to live.

Don’t get me started on the love triangle. I don’t actually think it exists. The only man she has dated is Caleb. Pierce may cause her heart to speed up but for four books nothing has happened with him.

Donald, the ghost wasn’t really that helpful. He didn’t remember anything until Celeste has solved the case.

At the end of the day, I liked it okay. I was skim read most the middle. I’m not sure how I feel about the author twisting things so the main character solves all the dilemmas facing the police. Caleb and Pierce are portrayed as intelligent men but they rarely show up except to either provide a safety net for Celeste or to cuff the bad guys after Celeste has found them.

I guess we’ll have to see if I can be tempted to give this series one more try when the next book comes.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to review this book prior to publication.

This is the fourth book in a series by Rose Pressey about artist Celeste Cabot who has special physic powers and travels to craft fairs to promote her work. In this instalment, she goes to Sevier County, eastern Tennessee to sell some paintings. Arriving with her pink and white trailer and Chihuahua, Van Gogh (Van for short) she finds the venue crawling with Elvis impersonators. She spots one Elvis sneaking out of a trailer without closing the door so decides to take a look and is shocked when she finds a dead body.

I thoroughly enjoyed Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut and found it very absorbing. Although I haven't yet read the first two books from Rose Pressey's Haunted Craft Fair Mystery series this did not tarnish my appreciation for this cozy tale as it was easy to read. I find protagonist Celeste to be a great character as she is personable, smart and independent, although a little prone to impulsiveness.

The mystery itself includes enough twists and variety to keep me guessing and turning the pages. A good bunch of people surround Celeste, and I especially like her BFF Sammie. The Travel Trailer Tips at the start of each chapter were a neat touch. This is a great, very high quality, fun read, and I intend to catch up with the other books in this pleasurable and amusing series. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Celeste. Very highly recommended.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Kensington Books via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

This is the 4th installment in the Haunted Craft Mystery series. Celeste Cabot is at the County Fair to sell her paintings and one the first day her family is there along with her best friend Sammie. Celeste senses something off when she spots an Elvis impersonator acting strangely near the strange and then when she is taking her dog Van (Van Gogh) back to her pink Shasta trailer when she spots an Elvis impersonator at another trailer walking away and acting oddly so she goes to check it out and she finds another Elvis impersonator dead in that trailer so she rushes back to the fairgrounds and calls the police. Detective Pierce and Caleb both arrive on the scene and once again are competitive for Celeste’s attentions. Pierce is also working on a high profile art theft case and asks Celeste not to get involved as does her family. Celeste decides to stay at her trailer on the fairgrounds to sell her pictures and she paints an Elvis picture which turns out to be the victim Donald whose ghost appears to her and wants her to solve his murder as he believes he died in a car accident. This was a good solid cozy and although she took some chances tracking clues down she was not super crazy. Loved how her Dad was involved in this one. Looking forward to the next installment and hopefully she can pick a guy as I am not fond of love triangles that go on for a long time.

I adore Van, the chihuahua, which keeps bringing me back to these mysteries. Celeste is once again at a craft fair with her pink truck and trailer. Once again there is a murder only this time, Celeste's attempts to be the amateur investigator gets her in extremely hot water as the killer is now stalking her.

Police investigators Caleb and Pierce are around for love triangle conflict, still leaving Celeste to figure out which one she likes best. Seriously girl, make a decision and see where it goes. The family - admittedly loving their sibling and daughter - are just too annoying at any time but in this instance, would - smartly - prefer Celeste return to the safety of home.

Admittedly, one of the amusing parts was due to there being a celebrity impersonator contest occurring, there are quite the collection of Elvis at a variety of ages and costumes. So what was the suspect that Celeste saw wearing and look like - a white attired Elvis. Lots of help there! It was the ghost of the killed impersonator that helps this time once he realizes he wasn't in a car accident.

There were fewer glitches edit-wise this time around or maybe I just stopped looking for them. Only one I caught was when Van was in her arms, Van was walking on his leash, and then back in Celeste's arms over a couple pages. Oops!

WOW ! I think i met the stupidist of all the stupid leads in "cozy " books and thats saying a lot because this cliched category has many doozies

First of all I remember I had read one book from this person's other series and didnt care for it much . but this is way worse

1 as cliched as they come
1 a character who is annoying and thinks shees smarter than she is? check (only thing that changes is their town and their area of work
2 a character who has 2 guys who want her and OF COURSE both are "gorgeous" ? check
bemused how the boyfriend or potential boyfriend can never be regular looking lmfao.
3 The guy is always a detective or cop or investigator who for some bloody reason though he "gets angry " at the dingbat for interferring doesnt dump her and in fact marries some of them? check
4 always gets into trouble and risks her life and often others / needs bailing out.. but then goes right back out and the same stupidity / risk of life happens in the next book? check

5 a female that i could never be friends with / and who i would tie my guy buddy down so he wouldnt date her? check

she is not smart or witty or cute or intelligent just a nosy dingbat who interfers and annoys people harrassing their privacy .

oh and the way its written? It would be a insult to the intelligence of preteens even

Elvis here, Elvis there...dang, he's all over the fair! When Celeste arrives at the Sevier County Fair in her sweet little pink trailer, ready to sell her paintings, solving another murder with the help of a ghost isn't part of her plans. But it should be - after all every time she arrives at a fair a killing is soon to occur. This time the dead man's ghost is an Elvis impersonator and together with her parents, brothers and Van the Chihuahua investigating the killer won't stay at large for long.
Celeste sees ghosts in her paintings, it's her strange talent and I love it. As for her family, well her brothers and father each need a keeper 24/7 as they tend to get into trouble as naturally as they breathe. Add her BFF Sammie and a romance involving not one but two guys (who will she pick?) and you have a mystery that will entertain to the last sentence. It has something for every reader - a solid puzzle, clues galore, some red herrings and plenty of Elvis impersonators to confuse things. I found it to be the perfect reading escape I needed.
My thanks to the publisher Kensington and to NetGalley for giving me an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

Celeste Cabot is selling her paintings at another fair and takes Van back to the trailer so she can enjoys a celebrity impersonation contest. As she walks to her trailer, she sees an Elvis impersonator sneak out of a trailer, leaving the door open. Feeling something is amiss, she checks on the trailer and finds a body.

When the police arrive, both detectives that she has been flirting with arrive. How does one quite help the police find the murderer when he was dressed as an Elvis impersonator, especially with so many of them at the fair, including the man that was killed? Celeste can’t help but sleuth, even when both detectives and her family warn her off. Will Celeste be able to solve the murder or will her body be found with a “Return to Sender” label?

Rose Pressey has been writing Cozies for awhile and has had several other series I have enjoyed. Her writing is sincere and down to earth and her whodunits always have plenty of red herrings and clues to keep you guessing until the final reveal. If you love cozies, don’t miss out on one of the authors in cozyland.

The first and foremost misterious thing about this book is that on my copy's cover the tiny white Chihuahua Van is missing his shades.
I love Van, the tiny white Chihuahua, and he's the reason I read these books. But everything else is quite unexciting; well this novel is definitely better than the previous one. Maybe all cozy mystery books are this tame and bland and simplistic, or maybe not, but here in this series the mystery aspect always resolves itself, the culprit is always the first and most obvious suspect, and in this installment more than ever the conclusion is totally, completely rushed. In the last few lines we read about some of the other suspects, but it's not even a paragraph in itself, it's directly after the lines about Caleb and Pierce, who are romantic interests at the same level (of romantic interest); reading this part is almost confusing. There will be more fairs (and thus more books), like the very last line lets suppose? I hope Celeste's family will be less dumb, at least.

I received this in a cozy mystery giveaway. I had not heard of the author or this particular series. The short answer is "I loved it." The longer answer is that it frustrated me. Please remember that I am jumping in at Book 4. The author is a great writer! She tells a story that is well-written and a mystery that, even when I knew who the villains were, I didn't know how she was going to get us there. Told in first person, the narrator is real. She could be your best friend. (I wanted the ghost to be my best friend....) There were 2 things that frustrated. First, everything that Celeste got herself into was to easily resolved. There was no real tension. Second, I didn't care at all about the love interests in her life. She was smarter and better than both of them....She needs to raise her standards. I am really glad to have been introduced to this series and will read the next one.

Thank you, KRL

I think it's good that this series seems to be done. It's ridiculous. I mean Celeste is aware and constantly provides reminders of how bonkers she is, but that's not enough after 4 books. The plot is paper thin and she's also the ditzy blond in the horror movies who does something so dumb and gets herself killed, except Celeste doesn't get killed and the book isn't satisfactory. I mean she's got a ghost, but she does all the snooping and eavesdropping herself instead of sending the ghost ahead to do it properly. I could not stop rolling my eyes at her.

Also, the only way she comes out on top is by making the two cops she's into really useless as well. I mean why is considering dating these two? They might as well be cardboard cutouts for all the good they do.

The only relatable part of this book was when she drags her diabetic dad around the fair to spy on her friend and all dad does is drool over the food. I'm with you dad.

Princess Fuzzypants here: Normally I like the books by this author. Her combination of the paranormal, mystery and humour is highly appealing. But if there is one thing that frosts my doughnuts, it is a heroine who does some colossally dumb things whilst trying to convince herself and her friends and family (which in this case includes two cops who are wooing for her favours) that she is being careful.

She parks her trailer in a private area where there are woods around and no cell coverage and she goes out and intentionally puts herself in harms way. There were times when. I wanted to scream. I stuck with the book, which did have its moments including an exciting finish. I am going to have to consider long and hard whether this is the final book of this series I will be reading.

Three purrs and one paw up.

I’m starting this series a bit late as Murder Can Frost Your Doughnut is the 4th in the Haunted Craft Fair Mystery Series, but still a fun ride!
Celeste, a traveling artist, goes from one craft fair to the next with her little Chihuahua Van, selling her artwork.
When an Elvis impersonator is murdered at the fair, Celeste can’t be kept away from her own investigation.
Each mystery in this series has a ghostly visitor who helps Celeste solve her mysteries, and this ghost happens to be the murdered Elvis impersonator.
I loved the paranormal element to the story along with the Elvis impersonators. This playful, cozy mystery was exactly what I was looking for.

Celeste makes the fair circuit, selling her art, and she's back home at the Sevier County fair when she finds a murdered Elvis impersonator. She thinks she's spotted a second Elvis impersonator leaving the building--I mean, the trailer--where the victim lies. I forgot to mention that Celeste is psychic and often paints pictures that have hidden messages in them when she looks at them through a glass, but this time she brings back the ghost of the dead Elvis, who is convinced he was killed in a car crash. After that, things get a shade improbable--do you really need more? If you think that a perky heroine, in danger from the murderer and with two contentious policemen with a romantic interest in her is just what you need, this is definitely your dish.

Elvis is at the fair. Everywhere! When Celeste sees an Elvis sneaking out of a trailer leaving the trailer door open, her gut feeling is that something is wrong. So she investigates and finds a body
With so many people dressed as Elvis, how to separate the killer out of the pack of impersonators is filled with lots of possibilities. Lots of red herrings, intriguing characters and humor make this one cozy read. Thanks #netgalley and #Keningston for the eARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.

Celeste and Van the Chi can't catch a break. They're at the craft fair in Sevier, Tennessee and it's crawling with Elvis impersonators, including one who might be a murderer! See, Celeste and Chi saw an Elvis sneaking away from a trailer where a dead body was found. Yikes. Celeste has the unusual (go with it) ability to get visions of villains by painting portraits, in this case of Elvis, of course. It's implausible, of course, but it's also fun. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. I enjoyed this as a reader of the series but think it would be fine as a standalone.

Celeste and her white Chihuahua, Van, are setting up at the Sevier County Fair to sell her art. But when they find the body of an Elvis impersonator, Celeste decides to help find the killer by doing some investigating on her own.

This has been a cute series and this book is a prime example of why. The book's well-written overall and has some wonderful characters. The mystery will certainly keep you on your toes and the humorous story will pull you in. If you like ghosts then this is the book and series for you.

Amateur sleuth and psychic Celeste Cabot discovers a dead body in a trailer at the Sevier County Fair. Once again Celeste can't resist trying to solve the murder. Not surprising since the murder victim's ghost has asked Celeste to find out who killed him. This was a fun story to read. There are great characters, lots of action and haunted paintings. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

The ghost was an intriguing addition to this story. I couldn't help but identify with the mc. The pink trailer also known as an art trailer was such a fun idea. I loved this cozy. Celeste was so busy with the art and the county fair that she certainly was not expecting to cross paths with an Elvis celebrity impersonator lying dead in the next trailer. This book really had me intrigued. I cannot wait to see if there will be another. It will be hard to top this one.

Artwork, romance, impersonators, music and murder. Celeste is back at an art fair. Doing what she does best stumbling upon the recently murdered and investigating of course. Much to the chagrin of the two men in her life. Running through fun houses, hiding out on rides and back stage at a show. All while looking for clues to who killed Elvis! Good read. Quirky and interesting. Looking for something light-hearted and a quick read. This series is worth reading.

[VICTORIA STEWART · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. The characters are fun and the ghost elements from paintings is such a unique concept. I enjoy the independent nature of Celeste while still being close with her family. It’s a nice balance. Van is cute little pup that adds an element of home or warmth to Celeste and her trailer. It’s a bummer that this appears to be the last in the series. I would have liked to continue on as I’ve really enjoyed the others books.
