And Then There Were Crumbs” by Eve Calder the first instalment in the "A Cookie House Mystery" series. I loved this book and totally added it to my favourite series list! I started reading series backwards with book 3 first but I loved so much I bought book two. I really enjoyed visiting Coral Cay, Florida , and the Cookie House and seeing how Kate started her journey on the island.

Everyone knows I’m a sucker for furbabies in my cozies so when you have a Doodle named Oliver who belongs to everyone, I was okay I’m in love. He really did belong to everyone in town, and they all pitched in for his care. Another thing I enjoyed was the relationship between Kate and Maxie when she goes to stay with her family and bakes cookies for everyone. It's great how the people of Coral Cay take care of their own and opened their arms to adopt Kate into their town family.

I was surprised by what happened to Stewart Lord and drawn in to find out what happened to him and saving The Cookie House! Kate turns out to be a great employee/friend to Sam by never doubting him and getting the whole town involved in bringing life back into The Cookie House and Sam.

It was entertaining, full of twists and turns and I didn’t completely guess whodunnit until Kate did. plus all the descriptions of the cookies made my mouth water.

I highly recommend this series to all my cozy loving friends and I can’t wait for book 4 to come out!
