It's
Cozy Food Friday

That means it's time to share a recipe from 
another great cozy mystery!

SILENCED BY SUGAR
Book 5 in Cookies & Chance Mysteries
by Catherine Bruns


From USA Today bestselling author Catherine Bruns comes another to-die-for culinary mystery...


Full-time baker and sometime-sleuth Sally Muccio is enjoying life as a new bride and only wishes that sales in her bakery would pick up. So when popular TV host Donna Dooley invites her and best friend, Josie, to be guests on Someone's in the Kitchen with Donna, it’s the answer to their prayers. The pair is excited about the opportunity until they discover Donna's new assistant is none other than Josie's former nemesis from culinary school, Kelly Thompson. 

Like cookies in a hot oven, temperatures rise, and their animosity escalates into a food fight during the taping—which then goes viral! But when a dead body is then discovered on the set, fingers immediately point to Josie, and Sal's usual sassy partner is at a loss of how to defend herself. Sal's world is once again plunged into chaos as she attempts to keep her friend out of jail, control a blast from the past that threatens to harm her marriage, and keep her crazy parents at bay as they film a commercial for a funeral home. Already knee deep in dough, Sal discovers a possible link between the current murder and an unsolved one from the past. But she’ll have to work fast because a killer is on her trail and determined to silence Sal...forever.

My Book Beginnings

Josie stood at the front window of the bakery, hands perched on her hips as she stared out at the dismal January day. "Did you win Publishers Clearing House and forget to tell me about it, Sal?"

My 56%

Panic seared through my body. I stared at Sam, expecting him to come to my defense, but he remained silent. Thanks a lot.

  3. I love both teasers on this one and that title definitely grabs my attention. Of course it does make me want cookies but most things make me want cookies so that's not unusual!

  4. Sounds like a good book but I'll skip the recipe. I hate coffee and anything that has coffee in it. The week I am featuring Little Girl Gone by Gerry Schmitt from my TBR mountain. Happy reading!
