The second book in the Cookie House Mystery book is delightful and well worth the read. I listened to the audio version of the book via credits I had on the audible app, but you should be able to find it available from your local library as a paperback or digital or audio.
In this book, much to Kate's dismay, her ex-boyfriend has shown up and he thinks it is going to be a piece of cake to woo Kate back to being his fiancee. Boy did his cookie crumble! Pun Intended! The way everything works out with her ex is nice because he is just terribly clueless about how to be a good boyfriend--but he isn't cruel, mean, or abusive so if he pops up in another book, I won't mind it. He could get a redemptive arc, but still, I'd rather not see him with Kate.
As I was listening to this book, I was reminded of how we discussed the last book in the Cozy Mystery Book Club. We all agreed that it was great that Kate didn't get involved with any man. We all agreed she needed to find her place in Coral Key and focus on herself. You have to love a writer who is able to create a character that readers are invested from the start of book one and who are rooting for that character to live her best life.
This book is pirate-themed, so if you like a good pirate tale, you are in luck! Again, as in book one, I found the main mystery and the culprit to be a nice twist on the usual M.O. of cozies. Definitely add this book to your TBR. I'm looking forward A Tale of Two Cookies!
