About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bruns comes a hauntingly hilarious Halloween Cookies & Chance mystery!
Baker turned amateur detective Sally Muccio has always had a soft spot for Halloween, but this year she's facing more than just spooky spirits and ghastly ghouls. Not only is she busy catering a party at her eccentric father's funeral home, but now a rival bakery has set up shop right across the street from Sally's beloved Samples. The new owner, Celeste Delgado, seems determined to crush Sal's unique cookie shop with her irresistible smash cake bombs. Suddenly, the handmade fortune cookies that Sally and her best friend Josie painstakingly create are forecasting a dark future for their business.
Before Sally can unravel Celeste's vendetta, the woman meets a tragic end in an explosion. To make matters worse, Josie was overheard threatening Celeste shortly before her demise. A brief stint in jail, another deadly blast, and long-buried family secrets only compound Sally's mounting worries. Like a ticking clock, precious moments are slipping away. Can she unmask Celeste's murderer before it all goes up in smoke?
