While helping her friend Maxi dig three new flower beds behind her flower shop, Flowers Maximus, when they top to rest. Oliver, Kate's dog, continues to dig and much to their surprise he unearths human remains. Maxi thinks it might be Gentleman George Bly, the pirate king of Coral Cay.
And now that it is almost Pirate Week, this sets everyone in town into a frenzy to find Gentleman George. Legend has it he was buried on the island with much of his pirate treasure. Complicating matters is her former fiance Evan Thorpe who promises to fund the research for Gentleman George through his Foundation.
When tests show the skeleton in Maxi's garden is not old enough to be Gentleman George, Kate is puzzled as to who it might be. She believes someone local must have known when Maxi and her family and Sam Hepplewhite, part owner of The Cookie House, were all out of town at the same time in order to dig the grave.
With the town in a frenzy to find Gentleman George, Kate decides to do some of her own research while baking scores of cookies for the shop. What she discovers surprises everyone.
A terrific series and I look forward to more of Kate's adventures in the coming books. Caution: if you do not have at least two dozen cookies on hand while reading this book, you will find yourself either baking or driving to a local store for cookies.
