Gingerbread and Grudges
(2026)(The second book in the Cookie Cook Mystery series)
A novel by Cassie Rivers
Cookie Hart thought Blue Ridge, Georgia, might finally be settling down for the holidays. She should have known better.
With Cookie’s Cookies thriving and the town preparing for its beloved Christmas market, the season should be filled with gingerbread, twinkling lights, and small-town cheer. Instead, when a well-known local woman turns up dead, old grudges and long-buried secrets begin bubbling to the surface.
As gossip spreads and suspicion falls in every direction, Cookie finds herself drawn into another dangerous investigation—one that threatens not just her bakery, but the future of Blue Ridge itself. With her loyal best friend by her side, a mischievous cat underfoot, and a growing list of suspects, Cookie will have to untangle the truth before this Christmas becomes one the town will never forget.
In Blue Ridge, the holidays may be merry… but murder is always on the menu.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
