Description

USA TODAY Bestselling Series!!

Sally Muccio’s had her crosses to bear: a cheating ex-boyfriend, crazy Italian parents, and an unfaithful husband, just to name a few. After her divorce, she returns to her hometown to start a novelty cookie shop whose specialties include original fortune cookies, served with a sprinkle of foreshadowing. But there’s no warning when her ex-husband’s mistress drops dead on Sal's porch, and police confirm it’s a homicide. Determined to stop her life from becoming a recipe for disaster, Sal takes matters into her own hands. With two very different men vying for her affection, dead bodies piling up, and a reputation hanging by an apron string, Sal finds herself in a race against time to save both her business and life—before the last cookie crumbles.

    I was looking for a good book to read this summer. I haven't read much this summer due to traveling, working and other stuff. I started to read "Tastes Like Murder" and literally could not put it down. I marathon read this book. Sal and Josie are definitely good friends. Sal and Josie really back each other up and look out for each other. But, who to trust? Who is evil? Who is safe? Who is the killer? Sal's family brings to mind the Plums from Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. I wanted to know and finished the book in three days thoroughly out of breath. Thank you for my good summer read. I was entertained the entire time. Oh, and my oven will be getting a good workout this fall. Yummy!!
