Eileen is
the owner of a flower shop. Out of the blue, she gets courted by a shy admirer
named Ray and goes on a pity date with the guy. The sudden death of her married
lover unnerves her.
The 1st
person narrative is candid and pensive as she often contemplates what’s going
on.
Who was the
secret admirer leaving notes at the store? And why did he send the news of her
lover’s death in such a way—as an obit? Eileen spends a while grieving her dead
lover while also wondering who the secret admirer was. It had such a lag that I
often found myself wishing it go faster and get to the point.
It started
off good and it certainly had an interesting concept, but I wasn’t impressed
with the execution. And why is it called the Death and Donuts series? There
were no donuts.
My rating: 3 stars
