Publisher Description

USA TODAY Bestselling Series!!

Sally Muccio’s had her crosses to bear: a cheating ex-boyfriend, crazy Italian parents, and an unfaithful husband, just to name a few. After her divorce, she returns to her hometown to start a novelty cookie shop whose specialties include original fortune cookies, served with a sprinkle of foreshadowing. But there’s no warning when her ex-husband’s mistress drops dead on Sal's porch, and police confirm it’s a homicide. Determined to stop her life from becoming a recipe for disaster, Sal takes matters into her own hands. With two very different men vying for her affection, dead bodies piling up, and a reputation hanging by an apron string, Sal finds herself in a race against time to save both her business and life—before the last cookie crumbles.

Tastes like Murder/ Catherine Bruns

Starts slow and crazy but full of love. Then goes fast and full of surprises. I rolled my eyes AND laughed out loud. Good cozy murder. PBD

WeMomma ,

Fantastic read

Great cozy mystery. Great writing and I liked the romance. Can't wait for out of this bakery.

Ten feet ,

Interesting plot that “stutters”

With stops & starts throughout the story for the lead character’s indecisions about her life, the murderers were rather obvious IMO.

Quirky characters & family were a bit too much for my tastes.
