Prom night, German chocolate cake, and organized crime-Chloe Boston's latest case has all the wrong ingredients.
The FBI has a problem. A mob accountant with a dangerous collection of secrets also has an unstoppable sweet tooth, and the agents need a baker who can get close enough to keep him satisfied without arousing suspicion.
At the police chief's recommendation, Chloe Boston becomes their woman in the field.
Her assignment sounds simple: bake the accountant's favorite German chocolate cake, gain his trust, and help the FBI uncover the truth hidden inside his cooked books. But working undercover for the federal government is more dangerous than following parking violators through Hope Falls-and Chloe soon realizes that one wrong move could land her in serious trouble.
As if organized crime weren't enough, someone from Chloe's past suddenly asks for help. A long-lost high school friend has returned, bringing painful memories of prom night and a favor Chloe finds difficult to refuse. Their relationship was not always friendly, and Chloe cannot shake the feeling that the timing of her return is more than coincidence.
A mob accountant. A desperate former friend. An old high school secret. Chloe's intuition tells her that the pieces belong to the same puzzle-but can she uncover the connection before someone silences her for good?
Fast-paced, twist-filled, and served with plenty of humor, Cooked Books is the twenty-second book in the Chloe Boston Cozy Mysteries series. Perfect for readers who enjoy culinary mysteries, undercover investigations, amateur sleuths, small-town secrets, organized-crime intrigue, clean suspense, and clever heroines with heart.
Return to Hope Falls, where the cake is rich, the memories are bittersweet, and Chloe Boston is about to discover that some books are cooked for a deadly reason.
