No current Talk conversations about this book.  gpangel | Apr 2, 2024 |   Hannah Swensen, Book 3 I Picked Up This Book Because: Continue the series. Media Type: Audiobook Source: AudiblePlus Dates Read: 1/17/24 - 1/19/24 Stars: 4 Stars Narrator(s): Suzanne Toren The Characters: Hannah Swensen Andrea, Mike, Norman, A bunch of other people….like really a lot. The Story: Hannah solved more mysteries in this one book than Sherlock Holmes in his whole series. I won’t recap because there were many but she handled everything with grace and aplomb. Also her man situation... whew. And I don’t think I’ll ever like her mama. (  ) bookjunkie57 | Jan 21, 2024 | ) lmauro123 | Dec 28, 2023 |  This book to me was more about world building and learning more about the characters. I loved seeing hannah torn between her two romance rivals. I liked how this case directly effected her because it happen in her shop. I also liked meeting jane and learning more about her past and I wonder if that secret will come back in future books.  I also did not see not enough of bill in this book andrea husband and that made me sad because I like when bill and hannah work together to solve crimes. I also also really growing to like norman and Hannah and I am curious to see if and when they get together and how that will effect mike and hannah relationship.  I really liked how hannah actually solved this crime and the process she want through and who helped her to find the pieces that she needed. I rec. if you read this book if you like a fun light mystery but a cool town and cool character even if i thought the mystery part of this book was a little weak.   ( ) lmauro123 | Dec 28, 2023 | ) lmauro123 | Dec 28, 2023 | no reviews | add a review

Fiction.
Mystery.
HTML:Bakery owner Hannah Swensen is back—and the cookies are crumbling—as acclaimed author Joanne Fluke serves readers another helping of murder, mayhem, and mouthwatering mystery. . . Blueberry Muffin Murder Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota's annual Winter Carnival—and Hannah Swensen is set to bake up a storm at her popular shop, The Cookie Jar. Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac—a half-baked idea, in Hannah's opinion. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show—sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town. Turns out America's "Cooking Sweetheart" is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp—and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah's famous blueberry muffins. Next thing Hannah knows, the police have declared The Cookie Jar's kitchen crime scene off-limits. She's a baker without an oven—and the Carnival is right around the corner. Hannah's only alternative is to cook up a plan to save her business—by finding the killer herself. . . Includes seven original cookie and dessert recipes for you to try! "Delicious food descriptions and recipes, warm and familiar characters who grow into real people. . .a vivid picture of the small lake town and a well-crafted mystery provide the ingredients for yet another tempting feast that should satisfy all fans, old and new."—Publishers Weekly.

This is the third installment in the Hannah Swensen series, and I think maybe I’m finally beginning to settle into it.
Gearing up for the Lake Eden Winter Carnival, Hannah is super busy doing her part- but the town is all abuzz over the celebrity lifestyle guru, Connie Mac, stepping in to bake the Carnival cake. But Hannah thinks the woman is a fake, entitled, uncharitable and difficult. Still, it comes as a big shock when she finds Connie Mac dead in her bakery….
I’ll admit I knew almost from the beginning who the murderer probably was- but I had no clue what the motive or connection might be- so it was still a mystery and a good one at that. I am starting to warm up to Hannah now that I understand her better and enjoy her little ‘love triangle’ musings, her cat, her sister, and her annoying mother, too- all of which is quite entertaining.
Overall, this was a quick, fun cozy- and I’m starting to enjoy the series more and more as I go!
