My Review:
I am a big fan of Hannah Swensen and this story is nothing less then perfect. This is the first time a murder is committed and solved all without leaving the location. Mix into the bag three Swensen daughters and one very pregnant one. This had everything you could hope for. Mystery, humor, jealousy, romance etc. The only part I didn't like was when Mike would become short with Hannah as she was trying to assist with his murder investigation. While she is doing most of the work leaving the questioning to Mike he seems like he's doesn't appreciate her work. Which I know isn't true, the opposite is with Norman, he gladly loves to help H
annah with whichever mystery is needing assistance with. Definitely a great read! A four cup book.
