Winter in Lake Eden, Minnesota, is the perfect time to
curl up by a cozy fire with something-and someone-sweet.
But while bakery owner Hannah Swensen can provide herself
with the confections, cuddling will have to take a back
seat to sleuthing when her sometime-squeeze becomes a
murder suspect...
With the launch party of her mother's
novel around the corner, Hannah has a dress to fit into
and a date with her sister, Andrea, at Lake Eden's new
health club, Heavenly Bodies. Dragging herself out of bed
on a frigid Minnesota morning for exercise, of all things,
is bad enough. Discovering a dead body floating in the
gym's jacuzzi? Okay, that's worse. Nor does it help that
there's a plate of The Cookie Jar's very own cream puffs
garnishing the murder scene. The fact that they were
purchased by none other than Hannah's part-time flame,
Detective Mike Kingston, is simply the icing on what's
shaping up to be one very messy cake...
Mike may be the
prime suspect in the murder of man-eating bombshell Ronni
Ward, but he's by no means the only one. Ronni, a fitness
instructor at both the Sheriff's department and Heavenly
Bodies, made a nasty habit of throwing her own heavenly
body at every man, eligible or not, who crossed her path.
Plenty of Lake Eden's ladies won't miss Ronni, including
her ex-fiance's former girlfriend, the angry mother of one
of her would-be conquests, and even the mayor's wife.
Could any of them have wanted her gone badly enough to
make it happen? Mike's recruited Hannah to find out, and,
as any suspended, suspected detective would, he's
micromanaging her every step of the way...
Between
trying to narrow the list of Ronni's enemies down to fewer
than half the town'sfemale population and resisting the
urge to remove Mike from the running by throttling him
herself, Hannah has her plate full. Trouble is, when it
comes to cookies-and to murder-there's always room for one
more...
