Official synopsis Publisher
From USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bruns comes another to-die-for culinary mystery…Full-time baker and sometime-sleuth Sally Muccio is enjoying life as a new bride and only wishes that sales in her bakery would pick up. So when popular TV host Donna Dooley invites her and best friend, Josie, to be guests on Someone’s in the Kitchen with Donna, it’s the answer to their prayers. The pair is excited about the opportunity until they discover Donna’s new assistant is none other than Josie’s former nemesis from culinary school, Kelly Thompson. Like cookies in a hot oven, temperatures rise, and their animosity escalates into a food fight during the taping-which then goes viral! But when a dead body is then discovered on the set, fingers immediately point to Josie, and Sal’s usual sassy partner is at a loss of how to defend herself. Sal’s world is once again plunged into chaos as she attempts to keep her friend out of jail, control a blast from the past that threatens to harm her marriage, and keep her crazy parents at bay as they film a commercial for a funeral home. Already knee deep in dough, Sal discovers a possible link between the current murder and an unsolved one from the past. But she’ll have to work fast because a killer is on her trail and determined to silence Sal…forever. **Recipes Included!**The Cookies & Chance Mysteries:Tastes Like Murder (book #1)Baked to Death (book #2)A Spot of Murder (short story in the “Killer Beach Reads” collection)Burned to a Crisp (book #3)Frosted With Revenge (book #4)Silenced by Sugar (book #5)What critics are saying:”Catherine Bruns has whipped up another delicious treat with this delightful cozy.
