It's Book Club Friday!!
This week I read the third installment of the Hannah Swenson series, Blueberry Muffin Murder. I promise I'll branch out next week ;-)
Synopsis:To fight the late February doldrums, Lake Eden, Minn., is about to celebrate its
first winter carnival with ice sports on the lake, activities for children and
Hannah's delicious cookies from her shop, the Cookie Jar. The whole town is
involved, and even Hannah's mother, who usually spends her time trying to get
Hannah married, has found a new interest in recreating the home of one of Lake
Eden's founding fathers. Connie MacIntyre, bestselling cook book author and star
of a popular cable TV cooking show, has agreed to make the cake for the carnival
banquet. But when Hannah discovers Connie's dead body in the pantry of the
Cookie Jar, Hannah and her sister Andrea join forces to track down the killer,
despite warnings by one of her boyfriends, policeman Mike Kensington, to stay
out of the investigation. Since everyone who had contact with the abusive Connie
disliked her, the sisters have plenty of suspects. (Amazon )
My thoughts:
Not bad, not bad. I'm still really liking these books, although Hannah was a bit "know-it-all-y" in this book, which I didn't like too much, even if she did end up being right! Again, it was a rather unsavory character that was killed (good riddance) and I didn't guess the killer until right before it was revealed. It was pretty interesting when Mike (bf #2) accused Norman (bf#1) of being the murderer. Hannah was dating both the murder suspect and the cop! Drah-mah. Also, I still need to try one or two of these recipes! I hear they are yummy.
Your reviews always leave me with unhealthy cravings!! ;)
ReplyDeleteJust imagine reading the whole novel!! ;-)
DeleteI think this one was one of my favorites that I've read in the series so far. :) It's been a while since I've read any of them though :(
ReplyDeleteSo far Choc Chip Murder and this one are my favs. I have Lemon Meringue Pie Murder waiting for me after my current book!
