I really enjoy Hannah and her friends, and they get up to a lot of things in this book. They recipes keep getting better too. The book is set in early February in Lake Eden, and it's cold and snowy. Lisa is getting married, and Hannah is busy with preparations for that. It's a good thing that she has that because her business is not doing well because Hananah's nemesis Shawna Lee has opened a bakery right across the street. This enterprise is being financed by Shawna Lee's sister Vanessa who seems to have unlimited funds. When one of these Southern sisters gets murdered, Hannah is on the trail of another killer. The ending is truly surprising, and the mystery is a good one, but it is Hannah and her friends that keep me coming back. (  ) Romonko | Feb 21, 2009 |  I complained in my review of the previous Fluke novel, "Sugar Cookie Murder" because the mystery was far too short and the recipes too numerous. I said I wasn't going to say the series was plummeting for me until I read the next one. Well now I have, and I can honestly say this is the one I have enjoyed most in the series to this point. This was a relatively well padded volume. The murder didn't happen until over a hundred pages in but I still enjoyed reading about Hannah, her friends, her cat, and Lisa's wedding. Again, sinking into a Hannah Swensen book is like re-visiting old friends. The murder never truly became the sole hightlight of the story though. Hannah seemed more intent on the mystery of Mike's nightly routines than she did on proving who was a murderer. But it worked, I flew through the book and immediately ordered the next one. Also, as I approach the 'current' end of the series in just a couple of short books, I lement on the fact that my visits with Hannah are soon to be limited to once a year when a new book is released. Four stars for a fun book that is among the best (if not THE best) of the series. ( ) pacey1927 | Nov 17, 2008 | I really loved how this book ended and I can not wait to read the next in the series!! I'm still annoyed with the whole back and forth Mike/Norman relationship that just to me seems unrealistic, but I still really love the series and all the baking makes me hungry lol Joanne Fluke really does a great job with the likable characters and great mysteries :) ( ) DreamingInFiction | Apr 15, 2007 | A cute little cozy mystery with recipes. The story line revolves around a cookie shop. My favority line from the book: "in Minnesota, you can warm up your hands by putting them in your freezer". How true, how true!

| Book description |
|
At least Hannah has her business partner Lisa’s wedding to look forward to. She’s turned one of Lisa’s favorite childhood treats into a spectacular Wedding Cookie Cake. And Lisa’s aunt will be bringing her famous Peach Cobbler to the reception. But Hannah starts to steam when she finds out that Shawna Lee has been invited—and is bringing her own Peach Cobbler.
Hannah doesn’t like having the Georgia Peach in the mix, especially when both Shawna Lee and Hannah’s sometime-boyfriend, Detective Mike Kingston, are no-shows to the wedding. Hannah has suspected that Mike is interested in more than Shawna Lee’s baking abilities. So when she sees lights on at the Magnolia Blossom Bakery after the reception, she investigates—and finds Shawna Lee shot to death.
Everyone in town knew the Cookie Jar was losing business to the Magnolia Bakery—a fact that puts Hannah at the top of the initial list of suspects. But with a little help from her friends, Hannah’s determined to prove that she wasn’t the only one who had an axe to grind with the Quinn sisters. Somebody wasn’t fooled by the Georgia Peaches and their sweet-as-pie act—and now it’s up to Hannah to track down whoever had the right ingredients to whip up a murder…
