Book Three: Carrot Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke

Always a pleasure to visit with Hannah and the gang. I love the coziness of Lake Eden and all it offers. In this book we are privy to Lisa and Herb's family reunions. There are over 100 people gathered for the event including long lost cousin Gus. Just when he reappears in their lives he is gone. And in his wake he has left questions of who he really is and who would want to get revenge after all these years. 4/5

The yummy recipes are so mouthwatering that I can't wait for the compilation in October 2011. While I am excited for this book to come out I am also fearful that this will mean the end of the series. We will just have to wait and see!

21. Cherry Cheesecake Murder by Joanne Fluke

It's Hannah Swensen again!! This follows after the proposal in Peach Cobbler and I wanted to know what happened. I loved this one because a new love interest entered the picture. Boy did Mike & Norman have a fit of jealously! Main street became the scene of a Hollywood movie and murder. The prop gun apparently was not a prop after all and Hannah has to figure out who did it.

13. Peach Cobbler Murder by Joanne Fluke

I can't remember which number in the series this is but the Cookie Jar is full of excitement in this one. Shwna Lee is back and rears her ugly head in this one by opening up a rival bake shop right across from Hannah's. SHe gets hers in the end though and Delores is smitten with Winthrop. Lisa and Herb get married in this one as well. I really enjoyed it and the surprise proposal was a cliffhanger!

9. Key Lime Pie Murder by Joanne Fluke

Oh how wonderfuly it was to re-enter the world of Hannah Swensen and the Cookie Jar. This time we are in the middle of a fair and one of the judges of the baked goods contest is murdered on the midway. There are delicious recipes for all types of gulity concoctions including the deep-fried candy bar.

If you haven't tried one you don't know what you are missing!

#19 Blueberry Muffin Murder by Joanne Fluke

This was a quick and easy read. This book introduced me to the world of Hannah Swensen and her delicious sounding recipes. I look forward to picking up another tasty mystery by Fluke. I give it a 4/5.
