It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas for Sally Muccio. The part-time sleuth and full-time baker is up to her elbows in sugar and a puzzling mystery that threatens to ruin her jolly holiday...
As Sal and her good friend Josie prepare to close their bakery to enjoy Christmas Eve, as well as Sal’s daughter’s birthday, a last-minute sojourn to the airport interferes. Sal mistakenly thinks this will be a quick outing to pick up her father from a business trip. But with the weather outside frightful, and her delightful father nowhere to be found, her fears quickly begin to escalate.
Where is Domenic Muccio, and why isn’t he answering his phone? And who is the mysterious companion he was seen leaving the airport with? If Sal doesn’t find her father soon, no one will be rocking around the Christmas tree.
Includes a delicious recipe for candy cane cookies!

~ Cozy Mystery Book Reviews (Summary via Goodreads)
Anyone that knows me knows that the Cookie & Chance Mystery series by Catherine Bruns is my favorite series. Any time that I can escape with Sally, Josie, Mike and the rest of the families you know that I'm doing it. And I will stay there as long as I want ..... unfortinately with Planes, Candy Canes, and Hearses my time with them is very short as this is a novella. However, even though it is a short story, it is still packed with a great captivating tale .....
In Planes, Candy Canes and Hearses it is Christmas Eve and a very pregnant Sally has to pick up her dad from the airport and then go to her parents house for Christmas Eve dinner and her daughter Cookie's birthday celebration. But, of course, it isn't that simple. First Sally's car won't start so Josie takes her in the van. Then secondly when they get to the airport Domenic is no where to be found but his luggage is still on the carousel .....
Sally tries not to panic but it is not like her dad to be missing. Yes he is very wierd but he would never want his family to worry.
Sally has to find her dad and get him and herself safely to dinner or else ......
Once you read any of the books in the Cookies & Chance Mystery series you are a devoted fan !!! You may try to read the stories slowly so that your time with the characters will last but once you start reading you will not want to stop !!!!
