Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

Between baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar and unraveling the mystery of her cat Moishe’s recent strange behavior, Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate. But she’ll always make time for her business partner, Lisa, who’s in the midst of preparing for a big family reunion. Everyone is delighted when Lisa’s long-lost uncle makes a surprise appearance. No one has heard from Gus in twenty-five years. Uncle Gus is immediately the hit of the reunion. He’s almost as popular as Hannah’s scrumptious carrot cake, which is also Gus’s favorite dessert. But the next morning, as the whole family gathers for the group photo, one person is missing. Hannah offers to track down Uncle Gus, but her search leads to a shocking find. Over by the bar at the pavilion, she spots two slices of her infamous carrot cake, frosting-side down on the floor—and Gus’s corpse with an ice pick jutting out of his chest!

Now Hannah’s got to sift through a long list of suspects to find a killer—even if it could mean a recipe for her own demise…

Book number 10 in the Hannah Swensen cozy mystery series, set in Lake Eden, Minnesota.

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 their help!

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. ( )

Cute story with lovable characters and great recipes, as always, but the Mike/Norman bit it wearing thin and now a 3rd guy? Annoying af. ( )

Hannah’s cat Moisha is going cat-crazy at night, and unfortunately, her carrot cake has been involved in a murder. Gus, a relative of Lisa, her coworker at the bakery, who has been gone for decades, and only recently returned to Lake Eden for a family reunion, winds up dead. Unfortunately, too many people had a reason to kill him. LOL with the mystery of the tattoo. Too funny. This one really gave me a hankering for carrot cake! And so many yummy salads! Yum!

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.
