About this ebook

In this scrumptious new read in the blockbuster series packed with delightful recipes from a beloved New York Times bestselling author, baker Hannah Swensen is tempted by a high-profile tournament in Lake Eden that quickly turns deadly…

“A good puzzle, lots of delicious recipes…Fluke reinforces her place as the queen of culinary cozies.” —Publishers Weekly

Embracing a sweet escape from her usual routine at The Cookie Jar, Hannah gets asked for her help in baking pastries at the local inn for a flashy fishing competition with big prizes and even bigger names. But the fun stops when she spots a runway boat on the water and, on board, the lifeless body of the event’s renowned celebrity spokesperson…

Famed TV show host Sonny Bowman wasn’t humble about his ability to reel in winning catches, and no one knew that better than his tragically overworked sidekick, Joey. Did Joey finally take bloody revenge on his pompous boss—or was Sonny killed by a jealous contestant?

With goodies to bake and a mess of fresh challenges mixed into her personal life, it’s either sink or swim as Hannah joins forces with her sister, Andrea, to catch a clever culprit before another unsuspecting victim goes belly up…

“Delicious-sounding recipes…A final twist will have Fluke's many fans eagerly awaiting the next installment.” – Booklist

Ratings and reviews

Caramel Pecan Roll Murder by Joanne Fluke is the 28th A Hannah Swensen Mystery. I do not feel Caramel Pecan Roll Murder is a standalone book. New readers will find the background information needed to be missing. Fans of the series (like me), though, will enjoy it. I have read every Hannah Swensen mystery. Caramel Pecan Roll Murder picks up a few weeks after the death with Ross, Hannah’s “husband” has been cleared up. Hannah is lacking her confidence after everything that has happened. I hope she gets it back soon. I understand that Hannah loves her condo, but I feel it would be best for her and Moishe if she sold it and found a new place to live (I see her in a cozy little house with lots of play space for Moishe and Cuddles). I feel bad for Moishe, and I am glad that he has Cuddles to keep him company and has Hannah’s mother to spoil him. The mystery had a dead television host at a fishing tournament. The man was a piece of work so naturally there are a number of suspects. Hannah with help from Andrea sets out to hook the killer. Hannah could use the diversion as her thoughts keep going back to Ross. There are good clues to help readers solve the crime before the reveal. The reveal was dramatic and tense. We get all our questions answered regarding the whodunit. The pacing was a little slower for Caramel Pecan Roll Murder. I enjoyed my latest visit to Lake Eden. We are left with a little cliffhanger at the end of Caramel Pecan Roll Murder. I am curious how it will turn out. I enjoyed catching up with Hannah, Mike, Norman, Delores, Andrea, Michelle, Lonnie, Lisa, and, of course, Moishe. I look forward to seeing what Hannah will do next. Caramel Pecan Roll Murder is a tasty treat with timorous Moishe, a sloshed Sonny, a distressed Sally, a helpful Hannah, a considerate Norman, able assistant Andrea, a sympathetic Mike, and a mysterious murder.

Great intro!
