Cookies and Chaos

Using her bakery and expertise, Madeline Flynn helps the sheriff's twin nephews with their cookie sales—until strange things happen at the community center where they sell them.

With a puzzling death, vandalism and a nasty scam, the danger on their doorstep can't be ignored. Maddie is once again whisked up in an investigation that will take all her sleuthing skills to solve.

Gran, a posse of girlfriends, plus Big Red, her faithful Maine coon, won't let her do it alone. Along with the handsome sheriff, they're wading through clues as thick as cookie dough, hoping that the timer won't go off on another murder.

Have they taken on more than they can chew?
