| Hannah Swensen Mysteries |

The smell of cookies baking in the oven. Cookie exchanges. Cookie cutters in festive shapes. New cookie recipes everywhere you look. All these remind me of the Hannah Swensen Mysteries by Joanne Fluke. In this series of mystery books, the main character, Hannah Swensen, is not only the owner of the Cookie Jar bakery in Lake Eden, Minn. but also the town "super sleuth". She always seems to get caught up in situations that demand her detective work. And along the way, the author shares wonderful dessert recipes right in the books. Joanne Fluke has two new additions to the series:
Cherry Cheesecake Murder (#8) finds the quiet litte Minnesota town turned into a movie set. All is fun and exciting until the demanding director decides to demonstrate a suicide scene with a pop gun that turns out to be real. Was it an accident? Or not?
Key Lime Pie Murder (#9) takes place during the Tri-County Fair where Hannah is helping to judge the baking contest. It is another judge, a home economics teacher, who ends up being murdered. The list of suspects is long and the victim's past is somewhat myterious. Hannah is on the case!
Joanne Fluke also has a fun website at www.murdershebaked.com which includes lots of additional information, photographs and, of course, recipes. |
