This is the newest treat out of the oven from Fluke, whose Hannah Swensen Series has been praised as "Fun . . . frothy . . . Enticing recipes for cookies and other treats, presented with helpful procedural hints, are an extra bonus."--"Publishers Weekly."

Hannah Swensen is a bakery owner in Lake Eden, Minn. She is in the process of developing the Lake Eden cookbook which will include recipes from everyone in town. At her potluck cooking class in the evenings she has had the participants test out the recipes. As she is winding up her class and tossing the garbage out, Hannah finds the local sheriff dead in the dumpster.

One of her boyfriends, Bill is appointed the Acting Sheriff. Bill determines that Hannah's brother-in-law, another law enforcement officer is the only suspect and suspends him. Andrea, her sister pleads for Hannah to solve the murder and clear Bill. Andrea is eight months pregnant and confined to rest.

This is a cozy mystery and as with all series some things get a little stale. Hannah's morning routine must have been written about 100 times already. Being not a cat owner I may not understand, but anyone who goes through that much trouble to feed a cat a 'senior' diet has something loose. Also her vacillations about her boyfriends is also getting a little stale. These mysteries are getting very predictable.

My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer in September, 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. Unfortunately she didn't get around to reading this book.

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

To the finder of this book: I hope you enjoy reading this book. Please keep it or set it free when you're done. If the book is of no interest to you, please release it into the wild for someone else to find and enjoy. I hope you will make a journal entry so its journey can be tracked and to let me know the book has been found. You can remain anonymous if you wish, but if you join BookCrossing, you are in for a great experience and I do hope you will use my mom, AceofHearts, as a referring member. 

Hello! I stumbled across this book today on a picnic table outside Toronto's St Lawrence Market. I was intrigued by the "I'm Free! I'm Not Lost!" sticker on the front, and thought the idea was fantastic, so have picked it up and brought it home with me. After logging in and learning the book's history, I'm excited to read it and pass it along to honour the memory of AceofHearts. I will update once I've finished the book and have left it somewhere else to be found.

Got this as a Valentine’s Day present from my husband. I love this series and can’t wait to read it.
