Each book had its own crime to solve. Each with its own clues, suspects and excitement. The recipes are great also. Sally's family is really unique.

Tastes Like Murder is really a fun read. I love the characters. The plot has just enough twists to keep you guessing until the end. Divine cookies with recipes!
I love this series. Sally's family would drive a sane person nuts! Love them all - especially Grandma Rosa! In Baked to Death I guessed the murderer early, but still had to wait to see how all the characters played out their stories.
The Cookies & Chance mysteries just keep getting better! I love the quirky characters. The mysteries are always convoluted and well planned.

The “Cookies & Chance Mystery” 3-book set earns 5+/5 Cryptic Fortune Cookies!
Catherine Bruns has served us ‘cozy-holics’ and cookie connoisseurs an entertaining ‘sugar and spice’ series. We join Sally Muccio (Mooch-EE-o) as she navigates her post-divorce life back in her hometown in upstate New York trying hard to make a success of her cookie shop, Sally’s Samples, with her BFF Josie baking up the most delicious treats…including the signature fortune cookies that provide curious puzzles. Catherine provides a superior read with worrisome predicaments, cryptic fortune cookies, twisting and turning investigations, and Karma always seems to be waiting in the wings to take a big bite out of somebody’s cookie.
Along with three marvelous mysteries, well written and loaded with twists, we also enjoy a town full of colorful characters. There is Sally’s very odd Italian family (Mother’s sexy attire, Dad’s passion with death, and their public displays of affection), Grandma Rosa’s pillar of strength (An encouraging word or a plate of Braciole), the best BFF one could have (An Ethel to your Lucy), a blood-boiling neighbor (Karma needs to have a little talk with Mrs. Gravelli), two evolving into one romantic entanglement (No triangles here!), and of course, a few unsettling murders (What else! It’s a cozy!).
In true ‘cozy’ fashion, we are even treated to several of the actual recipes for Sally’s Samples (the signature fortune cookies, award winning Josie’s Jelly Cookies, and Sally’s Shortbread) and the Muccio family’s favorites (Grandma Rosa’s Braciole and Cheesecake). Ok, it’s a great cookbook, too!
Book 1 “Tastes Like Murder” earns 5/5 Delectable Desserts!
Do you remember those mean girls from high school? The girls who used their affluence and beauty to inflate their worth and subjugate others? What if Karma came to collect and your "mean girl" ended up poisoned and found on your front porch? Sally Muccio didn’t really want anything to happen to her high school ‘nemesis,’ but she still ended up dead, slumped in front of her little bakery, a cookie in hand. The dark cloud of suspicion hangs over the cookie shop forcing Sal and Josie to team together and investigate the murder mystery in order to save their budding business.
Book 2 “Baked to Death” earns 5/5 Award Winning Cookies!
Exes can be a frustrating part of one’s life, but the hope it would truly be at an end when the ties are legally cut doesn't come true in Sally Muccio’s case when Sally’s ex-husband, Colin Brown, shows up, definitely looking worse for wear, and threatens to take away half of her successful business. Then the love of your life is placed in handcuffs, and your hear those dreaded words ringing in your ears: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say may be used…” Ex is dead, your boyfriend is arrested for murder, and you’re prepping for a . Yeah, this can’t be good.
Book 3 “Burned to a Crisp” earns 5/5 Slices of Ricotta Cheesecake!
The cookie shop is a popular destination, and Gianna, Sally’s younger sister, is now a public defender. Her first case is huge, and although, it ended in a mistrial, she is sure she does not want to continue representing her client, Bernardo Napoli, who is characterized as a “total sleaze.” But as the fortune cookie says, “Things will heat up for you tonight,” Sally didn’t expect it to mean a fire at the bakery, a dead body in the ashes, and her sister a ‘person of interest’ and missing. What else could go wrong? Turn the pag
