About this ebook
In A Tale of Two Cookies, a cozy mystery from Eve Calder, it’s nothing but sugar and spice at The Cookie House, but elsewhere on Coral Cay everything isn’t so nice.
Pastry chef Kate McGuire is loving life on the laid-back island of Coral Cay, Florida. As junior partner in a bakery renowned for luscious desserts—especially her cookies—life is pretty sweet. So when an old friend arrives and announces a spur-of-the-moment beach wedding, that’s just the icing on the wedding cake.
But the groom vanishes right as a television crew descends on the town to film a hot, new realty show. Is there a connection? Is her friend Desiree somehow involved? Or did groom Judson simply get cold feet? The bride and groom were paired better than warm cookies and cold milk, so Kate doesn’t buy it.
As the show’s cast runs amok on the island and the investigation into Judson’s disappearance heats up, Kate and her pal Maxi, along with town dog Oliver, will brave the rambunctious world of reality TV and a wedding weekend gone awry, in an all-out effort to find the missing groom.

A Tale of Two Cookies by Eve Calder is the 3rd A Cookie House Mystery. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series. This is an engaging cozy mystery set in Coral Cay, Florida. Kate McGuire is part-owner in The Cookie House where she whips up delectable cookies with Sam Hepplewhite. There is a delightful cast of secondary characters that includes Maxi and Kate’s dog, Oliver. The characters are well-rounded, friendly, and relatable. There are vivid descriptions of Coral Cay, the beach, and the various cookies. It allows readers to envision they are on lounging on the beach with a good book and a bag of fresh baked cookies from The Cookie House. The mystery was clever for a cozy mystery. I did arrive at the solution early on, but it was fun following Kate’s investigation to the resolution. There was a good wrap up of the crime. I like it when all loose ends are tied up. I did feel the story was a tad long (fifty-chapters). A little editing would not have been remiss. The ending of A Tale of Two Cookies is one that will leave readers smiling. A Tale of Two Cookies is a sweet treat with scrumptious cookies, a gone groom, a wrecked wedding, a bothered bride, threatened turtles, a beautiful beach, and a pushy photographer.
