Hannah has the honor of serving as head judge of the first annual Hartland Flour Dessert Bake-off, which she anticipates will be good advertising for her already popular bakery, The Cookie Jar. Then one of the judges, high school basketball coach Boyd Watson, is found dead, face down in Hannah's strawberry shortcake, and suspicion falls on Watson's abused wife, Danielle. Determined to prove Danielle's innocence, Hannah ignores the warnings of romantic interest Mike Kingston, the supervisor of detectives at the Winnetka County sheriff's station, not to get involved.

A surprise wish fulfillment for a friend! Enjoy!

Hannah is the judge of the first ever Hartland Flour Dessert Bake-Off. When one of the judges, Boyd Watson is found dead, Watson's abused wife, Danielle is the prime suspect. Hannah however follows her sleuthing instinct and sets out to prove Danielle innocent. Mike Kingston, the new supervisor of detectives and a romantic interest warns her to steer clear but we all know that Hannah can do a much better job than the police.

Hannah has two romantic interests now. Detective Mike and Dentist Norman. It is nice not to see Hannah settling and enjoying both men for their individual and different personalities. I did enjoy the interaction between Hannah and her sister Andrea.

My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer on September 17, 2013. Aside from being one of the best people I know, she was an avid reader and took immense pleasure in Bookcrossing, her book club, and reading many great books. She enjoyed this series and had read quite a few.

I will be releasing this in my mom's memory.

Left this on a bench in Scotia Plaza.
