After her mother dies from a heart attack, Sloane Templeton goes from Cyber Crimes Unit to bookstore owner before she can blink. She also "inherits" a half-batty store manager; a strange bunch of little old people from the neighborhood who meet at the store once a week, but never read books, called the Granny Oakleys Book Club; and Aunt Verline, who fancies herself an Iron Chef when in reality you need a cast iron stomach to partake of her culinary disasters. And with a group like this you should never ask, “What else can go wrong?” A lot! Sloane begins to receive cyber threats. While Sloane uses her computer forensic skills to uncover the source of the threats, it is discovered someone is out to kill her. Can her life get more crazy?"Bonnie Calhoun's first Sloane Templeton mystery, Cooking the Books, is one of the most delightful new fiction voices I've read in years. My only complaint--waiting for the sequel.

The cast of characters brims with unexpected humor and heart, and Sloane's take on the world around her keeps the reader eagerly turning pages to see what she'll say or do next. I look forward to more Sloane Templeton adventures." Sandra D.

A tasty treat for romantic suspense fans."--Rick Acker, author of *When the Devil Whistles and Dead Man's Rule"Bonnie S. Calhoun is a master weaver of snarky humor and suspense. Cooking the Books* is fast paced, laugh out loud funny with enough suspense to make you shiver.

It's a must read." - Ane Mulligan, Sr. Editor Novel Rocket"Bonnie S. Calhoun pens a heroine with snap and pizzazz.
