Ivy finally lands a real cooking job, but there's a catch: she must figure out who kidnapped Magnum, the bloodhound who saved her uncle's life. Uncle Tom, always at the ready with a favor she'll pay for later, hinders more than helps when he hires feckless Cousin Fidel to search for the puppy.

Slate meets a family ghost—or is it a skeleton? —with his hands in the cookie jar! Following the trail of crumbly clues is obviously a deadly occupation.

Ivy will have to choose her ingredients carefully or this is one recipe that will go up in flames.
A cozy mystery, romantic comedy!
