https://www.amazon.com/Cookie-Jar-Gossip-Mystery/dp/B0H5K5ZZ9R The Cookie Jar: A Gossip Mystery 9.99 paperback, 4.99 Kindle, free on Kindle Unlimited --- Seventeen guests arrive on a private island. Seventeen cookies sit in a jar on the kitchen counter. By the end of the evening, one cookie is missing. For most people, that wouldn't be much of a mystery. Unfortunately, these guests include a billionaire developer, a former governor, a venture capitalist, a media mogul, a retired general, a world-famous magician, a lawyer, a professor, a tech visionary, and several other people who are accustomed to being the smartest person in any room. Each is certain they can solve the case.Each has a theory.Each is wrong. Told through seventeen competing voices, The Cookie Jar is a literary mystery that invites readers to solve the puzzle alongside the characters. Every chapter introduces a new suspect, a new clue, and a new way of interpreting the same missing cookie. Keep a pencil handy. The guests build grids. They compare notes. They eliminate suspects. They construct theories. They investigate one another. As the night unfolds, the mystery grows larger, stranger, and increasingly impossible to ignore. Because sometimes the hardest mystery isn't discovering who took something. It's realizing everyone has been asking the wrong question. Part social satire, part puzzle novel, and part literary mystery, The Cookie Jar is a story about clues, assumptions, and the dangers of investigating the obvious.
