Description:
The yummy
small town cozy finds
sometime sleuth Hannah Swensen, owner of the Cookie Jar in Lake Eden,
Minn., judging the baking contest at the Tri-County Fair. When one of
her fellow judges, home economics teacher Willa Sunquist, is murdered,
Hannah determines to sniff out the killer. Was it a man from Willa's
mysterious past? Or a student she flunked? Fluke has developed a
charming supporting cast—Hannah's besotted (and slightly spineless) two
suitors, her overbearing but likable mother, her endearing sisters and
her levelheaded business partner all feel like friends by the time the
murder is solved. The dozens of tempting recipes Fluke includes are an
added treat.
My Thoughts:
This book takes place during a fair being held in Lake Eden where
people are doing all sorts of things to assist the community. Michelle
Swensen is entered in a beauty pageant. Andrea and Tracey are entered
in a mother daughter contest. Norman Rhodes entered a picture he took
of Hannah into a best picture contest. Hannah is helping with judging a
bake-off, helping her mother with her booth, also helping Herb her
partner Lisa’s husband with his magic show. When a friend of Hannah’s
and fellow judge is found murdered. This death hits Hannah hard and she
gets mad at both Norman and Mike for their rough talk of the victim
when to Hannah she wasn’t a victim she was a person. Even Moishe is
acting weird not eating and staring out the window. This book has lots
of people trying to figure out what is going on between Willa’s murder, a
burglary, a bunch of fighting clowns, and what is Moishe doing in the
dang window?
