About the Book
Encouraged by their small-town church pastor, sisters Gladys and Myrtle Gooseberger make cookies to send to the CIA, to show their support. When an agent keels over after eating one, the old ladies are suspected of terrorism, especially since actual terrorists Ramadan (Ram) and Izzidine (Izzie) have been detected in a neighboring town. Being short of operatives, the CIA send two macho agents in female persona to scope out the spinsters’ church. Terrorists Ram and Izzie also get wind of suspicious activity in Wilderwood and hitchhike in that direction disguised as nuns. They are intercepted not by authorities but by a ‘funny farm’ bus. Meanwhile, a desperate mother in the congregation tries to hitch her nerdy son to “Grace,” one of the CIA agents’ personas, the cute church activities director tempts agent Jack posing as “Anna,” to blow his cover, and Gladys and Myrtle stalk the two CIA, whom they suspect of being the “Arabian Furriners.” Never have romance, suspense and intrigue been conducted with such hilarious derring-do. It could only happen in “That’s The Way the Cookie Crumbles.”
