Publisher Description
From USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bruns comes another deliciously deadly culinary mystery...
Spring has officially arrived, and while the weather outside may still be frightful, Sally Muccio is feeling especially delightful as she prepares a homemade family dinner in honor of her husband’s birthday. Sal’s determined to make it an unforgettable night for Mike and even includes homemade fortune cookies like the ones her bakery serves, with messages personalized for each guest.
The evening is memorable, but not as Sal had hoped, when Mike and a family friend find themselves in the middle of an armed robbery...and only one will make it out alive. It’s just the beginning of more grief for Sal, who soon discovers the robbery is related to a scheme that spells financial ruin for her family. Add in her morbid father’s book signing at the bakery complete with coffin shaped cookies, a sister who won’t stop eating them, and an accidental gig at a local strip club, and Sal once again finds herself in deep dough. Only this time, there may not be a way out...

Wow I’ve only read the blurb but wow!!!
Easy read!
Poor Mike has an awful birthday - he is involved in a shooting and then finds out that he has been cheated out of money from his business. Sal takes it upon herself to investigate both the shooting and the money problem.
It was well written, you can really feel Sal's emotions, especially with the shooting. Her father and his whole book signing is hilarious. This was a fun, easy read.
