This is a cozy story, which would appeal to those readers who enjoy a lighthearted whodunit story with little violence. The characters have ongoing storylines about their families, their careers, and, most of all, their relationships. Along with an enjoyable storyline, this book also provides recipes within each chapter, which further lightens the mood of this culinary caper.
I would also recommend to fans of this book, Just Desserts, by Daheim, Sympathy for the Devil, by Jerrilyn Farmer, Murder, with Peacocks, by Donna Andrews, and, of course, any of the other titles in Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swenson mystery series. - MH ( )

The third in the series about a bakery owner (Hannah Swenson) in a small town that keeps stumbling upon dead bodies. All the clues and her detective skills work out and she's able to solve the crime before the police. The story was entertaining and kept moving quickly, while it is becoming a little predictable (you always know that Hannah will solve the crime). A slightly different ending would be nice, but I'll have to read through the rest of the series to see if the pattern changes. ( )

this novel is one of those particular ones that is incredibly funny! Connie Mac's murder is certainly a mystery... a real unexpected murderer! ( )

A TV cooking personality is murdered in Hannah's pantry. Everyone who works for her has reason to hate her. ( )

This book is third in the Hannah Swenson series. It's a nice, light mystery perfect for those days when you don't want to have to think very hard. They are predictible but very entertaining anyway. In this one, Lake Eden is gearing up for the Winter Carnival. They have brought in TV chef Connie-Mac to prepare the special cake. All goes well, until Hannah finds Connie-Mac dead in the cooler at the Cookie Jar. Add in a missing assistant, ticked off lawyer, and scores of other people Connie-Mac has ticked off and you've got a ton of suspects and not much time to solve this mystery. ( )
