Picked this up at the ubs, Willow Tree Books.

From the cover -
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.

I love the relationship between Hannah and Andrea, how they seem to complement each other. Each one's weakness seems to be the other's strong suit, and they continuously improve in their sleuthing skills. I'm looking forward to reading some more in the series, now that Mother will be right next door, constantly provoking Hannah. Maybe their relationship will improve too. And the recipes look scrumptious too; I'm going to have to copy some of these off.

This is the 3rd book in the Hannah Swenson series, and I have several more here to look forward to.
