It's been a sleepy summer for the folks of Lake Eden,
Minnesota. In fact, it's been a whole four months since
anyone in the Swensen family has come across a dead body—a
detail that just made the front page of the local paper. And
that means Hannah Swensen can finally focus on her bakery.
. .or can she?
Life is never really quiet for Hannah.
After all, her mother's wedding is a little over a month
away and guess who Delores put in charge of the planning?
Yet just when Hannah believes her biggest challenge will be
whether to use buttercream or fondant for the wedding cake,
she accidentally hits a stranger with her cookie truck while
driving down a winding country road in a raging
thunderstorm. Hannah is wracked with guilt, and things get
even worse when she's arrested. . .for murder! But an
autopsy soon reveals the mystery man, his shirt covered in
stains from blackberry pie, would have died even if Hannah
hadn't hit him. Now, to clear her name, Hannah will have to
follow a trail of pie crumbs to track down the identity of
the deceased, find a baker who knows more about murder than
how to roll out a perfect pie crust—and get herself to the
church on time. . .
Indulge In Joanne Fluke's
Criminally Delicious Hannah Swensen Mysteries!
I've read all of Joanne Fluke's Hannah Swenson books and also the mysteries she has recently published. I like her wit and her writing style, but, I do agree with the review in that some of her turns of phrase are a little over the top. I also find it very strange that two very desirable bachelors are waiting for so long for her answer and tolerating each other. But, for the most part, I enjoy the characters personalities and the coziness of the Cookie Jar. (Vennie Martinisi 11:11am March 11, 2014)
I finished the above book, but do like how it ended. Too many loose ends. It seems that the book is not finished. Any thoughts any one (Betsy Guardasoni 11:33am March 22, 2014)
