Dessert is the Bomb

From USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bruns comes a hauntingly hilarious Halloween Cookies & Chance mystery!

Baker turned sometimes-sleuth Sally Muccio has always loved Halloween, but this year she has more on her mind than ghosts and goblins. In addition to catering a party at her wacky father's funeral home, a competing bakery has just moved in across the street from Sally's Samples. The new owner, Celeste Delgado, seems intent on burying Sal's novelty cookie shop into the ground with her sensational smash cake bombs. Suddenly, the homemade fortune cookies that Sal and her best friend Josie create with loving care are predicting an ominous future for their business.

Before Sal can discover what's behind Celeste's grudge, the woman is killed by an explosion. To take the cake, Josie was heard threatening Celeste shortly before her death. A night in the slammer, another deadly explosion, and dangerous family secrets all add to Sal's growing list of concerns. Like an oven timer, precious minutes of her life are ticking away. Can she find Celeste's killer before everything blows up in her face?
