Sugar Cookie Conundrum
(2023)(The second book in the Gluten Free Bakery Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Lorraine Cooke
**RECIPE INCLUDED**
This time, murder is hitting a little too close to home.
Now that Sophie Arnold is several weeks out from being held at knife point by a crazed murderer, her life has returned to its ordinary rhythm. Not only is her bakery thriving thanks to a steady social media following, but she’s also being pursued by two extremely handsome, albeit polar opposite, men.
What a rough position to be in.
Even though she’s plagued with recurring nightmares after the horrible incident, she finds solace in the normalcy of her days with her faithful companion, Marshmallow. That is, until the two of them discover her crotchety, hermit of a neighbor, Dwight, face-down on his lawn.
Carter, the clean-cut and overtly attractive out-of-town detective, insists that her neighbor died of old age. Sophie, being the sneaky sleuth that she is, insists that there were too many things out of place the morning of Dwight’s death.
As she sets out to prove to Carter that a full-blown investigation is needed, Sophie quickly finds herself wrapped up in a murder case that involves her creepy, teenage neighbor and the president of the HOA.
Meanwhile, Andy, the muscular hardware store owner with boyish good looks, decides to make his true feelings known to Sophie, sending her into a tailspin of confusion over her love life. To make matters even more complicated, she now has a pet store franchise owner interested in her new grain-free dog cookies.
Can Sophie get to the bottom of Dwight’s murder while juggling the demands of her bakery and love triangle?
Or will the killer silence her first?
Genre: Cozy Mystery
