Publisher's summary

In Eve Calder's Sugar and Vice, things are heating up at the Cookie House when star pastry chef and amateur sleuth Kate McGuire finds herself in the midst of a shocking murder mystery.

Out of the oven...

Lately, Kate has a lot on her dessert plate. She's launching a cookie-of-the-day challenge in the heart of Coral Cay, providing sweet treats for the reception of the town's handsome new veterinarian - not to mention dealing with tourists in town for a pirate festival and the surprise arrival of her former fiance, Evan, who seems determined to win her back.

And into the fire...

And if that's not enough, a skeleton has been found - in the backyard behind her best friend Maxi's floral shop. Kate knows Maxi could never hurt a fly. Maybe the remains belong to Sir George Bly, a long-dead pirate whose name has become urban legend - until now? It's time for Kate to use every trick in the recipe book to prove Maxi's innocence, and find the truth about the skeleton, before the last of the cookies crumble...

very good series

Well written, moves along, and keeps your interest. Love the characters and the setting.

The narration is excellent. It's amazing that she can differentiate all the characters so we'll.

Looking forward to the next one.

Cozy

Just an easy & fun little mystery. Enjoyed something lighthearted for a change. Caution! Main character talks often about yummy, mouthwatering cookies & cakes!

Narrator Christa Lewis brings character to life

Light, entertaining story. Admirable that two main characters are strong women who are true friends. The scope of talent to bring the wide variety of characters to life by the narrator was surprising. Hard to believe at times it's the same person doing all.

I will look for more books by both author and narrator.

Entertaining

Love this series for a quick, entertaining read that will allow you to refocus after reading an emotional read. These books have it all - mystery, detective work and close friends always trying to solve a problem. The way they go about it is thoroughly entertaining and sometimes makes you laugh out loud. Fun read!

Long

This was a very good book but didn’t need 67 chapters. The narrator was excellent.

Easy listening and easy to follow

I’m finding I’m enjoying this series and I look forward to listening to the next book. I finished this one in one day, well doing house work. It made the day pass a lot more smooth. One thing I like about these books so far is that you can’t really guess ahead of time “who done it”. I like the characters in the friendships that are built. The narrators voice is easy to listen to and follow. Just an easy and fun book to listen to. I definitely recommend it.

LOVE THIS SERIES AND BOOK

I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK, THE STORYLINE, AND THE CHARACTERS. KATE IS SUCH A PERFECT MIXTURE OF SOFTNESS AND STRENGTH. MAXI, THE VOICE OF REASON AND A GREAT FRIEND AND SLEUTHING PARTNER. BUT IT JUST WOULDN'T BE COMPLETE WITHOUT OLIVER. NOW, I CANNOT WAIT FOR BOOK 3. I DO HOPE WE SEE A LOT MORE OF THE NEW VET.
