This week, the
Christian Fiction Blog Alliance introduces
Cooking The Books
Abingdon Press (April 2012)
by
Bonnie S. Calhoun

Angie's Take: Full of quirky characters and mystery, Sloane Templeton entertains as she struggles to gain control of her crazy world. I just received my book a few days ago and am having a blast getting to know Sloane's world. So far I totally love Aunty Verlane. She's made some of the same cooking mistakes I have...I did learn from mine though, lol. I think you'll totally enjoy Bonnie Calhoun's new book, Cooking the Books.


ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

ABOUT THE BOOK
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?
