Cooking the Books
by Bonnie Calhoun
Sloane Templeton doesn't just step off the page. She flies
off of it taking the reader on one quirky dangerous journey.
Filled with wacky characters Cooking the Books will have you holding your breath right along
with Sloane when she discovers overcooked eggs. Her aunt is a wana-be-gourmet
chef and Sloane does what she can to keep her aunt out of trouble, but she is
on a first name basis with the fire and police departments.
Sloane has a sarcastic wit that leaves you grinning. Her
choice in men had me screaming no not him he’s a creep, get away far far away!
Sloan is capable of handling the many frightening situations
she finds herself involved in. Who knew going from a computer career to a
bookstore her could be so dangerous?
Calhoun kept me out of my bed until I finished the last
page. Part of the appeal of Cooking the
Books for me was the glimpse of an inner city culture which is a 360 for this
small-town Midwesterner.
Cooking the Books is
filled with danger, humor and of course snarky remarks. Get this book you'll
love it.
Back Cover Copy
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?
