About this ebook

A visiting celebrity baker is cut down in the kitchen in the New York Times-bestselling series: “A delightful confection.”—Library Journal
 
Preparations are under way for Lake Eden, Minnesota’s annual Winter Carnival—and Hannah Swensen will be extra busy at her 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’s sweet cable-TV image is a cover for something more bitter.

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 destroyed—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. Her only alternative is to cook up a plan to save her business—by finding the killer herself…

Includes seven original cookie and dessert recipes for you to try!
 
“Delicious food descriptions and recipes, warm and familiar characters who grow into real people…a vivid picture of the small lake town and a well-crafted mystery provide the ingredients for yet another tempting feast that should satisfy all fans, old and new.”—Publishers Weekly

Ratings and reviews

Just what you expect in a great Joanne Fluke novel. Spell binding excitement. Thank you for such a good time on my own.🥰🥰🥰👍

In a town of three thousand residents, Hannah manages to be the one to find every murder victim, to her mother's horror! To add spice, both her beau's are alternately kissing her breathless then making statements about keeping it casual! And they're hanging out together! Same inept search n leave prints while knowingly destroying evidence, leaving the cops looking like idiots when they follow laws and procedures. This series is like a cult classic, I laugh for hours reading each book then just have to read what happens in the next book! Still think the author is genius!

I love these books. I love Hannah and Andrea. It's just a nice read and I hope Hallmark makes more and more of these into movies.
