About the book
From USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bruns comes another deliciously deadly culinary mystery...
Spring has officially arrived, and despite the still frightful weather outside, Sally Muccio is feeling especially delightful as she prepares a homemade family dinner to celebrate her husband's birthday. Sal is determined to make it a night to remember for Mike, even going as far as to include homemade fortune cookies reminiscent of the ones her bakery offers, with personalized messages for each guest.
The evening turns out to be memorable, though not in the way Sal had hoped, as Mike and a family friend become caught in the midst of an armed robbery...and only one of them will survive. This tragedy marks the beginning of more challenges for Sal, as she soon uncovers that the robbery is connected to a scheme that could lead to financial disaster for her family. On top of that, her eccentric father's book signing at the bakery features coffin-shaped cookies, her sister can't seem to stop eating them, and an accidental performance at a local strip club adds to Sal's woes. Once again, Sal finds herself in a difficult situation, with no clear way out this time...
