Bakery owner Hannah Swensen just can’t keep her hands out
of the batter when murder stirs things up in Lake Eden,
Minnesota, leaving the sheriff dead, a deputy accused, and
a killer on the loose…
For Hannah, life seems to be lacking a certain flavor
lately. Maybe it’s the local sheriff’s election that’s got
her down. For years, Sheriff Grant’s been the iron hand in
town. But now, Hannah’s brother-in-law Bill is giving the
old blowhard the fight of his long, dubious career—and
Grant’s not taking it well, especially once the polls show
Bill pulling ahead.
But before anyone can taste victory, things go sour. While
Hannah’s emptying the trash, she makes a very unappetizing
discovery: Sheriff Grant’s body in the Dumpster behind the
high school where she’s teaching her cooking class. And as
if that weren’t bad enough, the poor man still has fudge
frosting on his shirt from one of her cupcakes.
The number one—and only—suspect is Bill, but Hannah’s not
swallowing it. Plenty of people had reason to hate Sheriff
Grant. Soon, Hannah’s dishing up scandalous secrets,
steaming hot betrayals, and enough intrigue to keep the
gossip mill at The Cookie Jar going through several pots of
decaf. And the closer Hannah gets to the truth, the closer
she gets to smoking out a murderer with a very nasty recipe
for silencing people…
