I have loved Hannah, her family, nd the townies since I first read "Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder". I knew right away the books were easy reads...lots of fluff and nothing I would ponder after I shut the book on the final page. A Hannah Swenson Mystery has a recipe
The only things stopping this from being a 5 rating was that there were quite a few typos which made me nuts..
This time it is a fmaily reunion
Hannah is helping out by cooking and baking like she always does. She especially made a carrot cake for Gus at the request of his sister.
It's Family Picture time and no one can find Gus so Hannah is sent to find him and find him she does. He is in the pavilion dead in the middle of her carrot cake.
Who would kill Gus? There is a long suspect list. Seems Gus made alot of enemies.
Mike makes a deal to share his info with Hannah if she will share her's with him. But will He?
And why is Moishe the cat acting out?
As usual I had no idea who did it till the very end.
If you like cats and cookies, if you don't like bad language or graphic sex, this is the book for you. Oh, and although I don't bake, I bet the recipes scattered throughout the book (there are 21) are phenomenal. I met Joanne Fluke when she was being driven around town by an author escort to sign stock in bookstores, and she came armed with a gift of the most divine--almost literally divine, mind you--chocolate chip cookies I've ever tasted in my life.
A reunion of Lisas relatives and when the whole clan gets together for the photo one uncle is missing. Hannah puts the clues together with help from her family and friends as they question everybody as to where they were at the time of the murder and discovering
Love the recipes during the chapters but she has to be careful as others might want her dead also.
Love this series and the dentist Norman and cop Mike wanting her to be their girlfriend.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
While this is going on on her home front, the big event is the big family reunion her business partner,
There was one problem with Gus's return, someone didn't want him there and solved the problem. Once again Hannah finds a body; and has a long list of suspects to work through.
Keeping up with supplying dishes for the weekend event, learning of scandals that run through the families' histories, and trying to see what is making Moishe act weird makes for a busy schedule for Hannah.
There are also quite a few recipes to be found in the book. Not just cookies, as usual, but some picnic dishes too. I've yet to try any, but I do find that I at least skim them.
This is a cozy series and the main characters are becoming old friends.
The good folks of Eden Lake welcome readers in this, the tenth story in
Fans of the series will find much to appreciate in this installment.
In this episode a family reunion is spoiled when a prodigal son returns, only to be murdered. Hannah and her sisters must, of course, get involved with solving the case. This time, the police actually ask for
I read these mostly when I need something to fit a particular challenge. The book is a fast read and has some tasty recipes included. But I am over the love triangle between Hannah, Norman and Mike.
