When Catherine Kelley witnesses a 'shadowy' altercation in the building opposite her bakery, Cat's Cookies, she's concerned. Her concern transforms into horror when Detective Jack Bradshaw reveals that a local businesswoman, Patricia Woods, has been murdered under suspicious circumstances. Cat knows that her eyewitness view of the crime will give her the edge in solving the case. Equipped with her determination to bring another Charleston murderer to justice, a bag full of White Choc Cherry Chunky cookies, and her newest sleuthing buddy, she sets off on another investigative journey. But there's more to this one than meets the eye: a stranger has come to town, and the weird noises from the supposedly empty apartment of the deceased, keep Cat up most of the night. Cat has to get to the bottom of this one, or risk her business going sour - after all, no one wants to feast on cookies across from a crime scene.
