Genre: Mystery
Stars: 4 out of 5
Hannah Swensen, an amateur sleuth, owns the local “Cookie Jar” where the small Lake Eden population likes to grab a cup of coffee, a cookie and gossip. Between baking and fending off her mother’s advances for her to get married, Hannah finds the local milkman Ron LaSalle dead in the alley behind her shop. Wanting to help her brother-in-law get that promotion as detective, Hannah begins to gather clues from all the gossip to catch the killer.
The first in a series of mystery books, I borrowed this book from a coworker who said I might enjoy it. I am not a huge mystery fan but I thought I would give it a shot. I must say I did like the story and I totally did not guess who the killer was until the end. I especially liked the corporation of cookie recipes within the chapters and I can’t wait to bake a few. If you want a fun, fast mystery read pick this series up. I might continue to read through the rest of them.
