About this eBook

New York Times Bestseller: After a glorious honeymoon, baker Hannah Swensen must deal with a ghastly homicide…
 
A romantic seven-day cruise is the perfect start to bakery owner Hannah Swensen’s marriage. However, with a murder mystery heating up back in Minnesota, it seems the newlywed’s homecoming won’t be as sweet as anticipated.
 
Hannah’s eager to settle down in Lake Eden and turn domestic daydreams into reality. But then her mother’s neighbor is discovered murdered in the condo downstairs. Victoria Bascomb, once a renowned stage actress, was active in the theater community during her brief appearance in town, and made throngs of enemies along the way. Did a random intruder murder the woman as police claim, or was a deadlier scheme at play? As Hannah peels through countless suspects and some new troubles of her own, solving this crime—and living to tell about it—might prove trickier than mixing up the ultimate banana cream pie . . .
 
Features over a dozen cookie and dessert recipes from The Cookie Jar!
 
“If your reading habits alternate between curling up with a good mystery or with a good cookbook, you ought to know about Joanne Fluke.”—Charlotte Observer

Ratings and reviews

This book seems so different from previous books. I have skipped many books in the series because of Hannah always correcting everyone's grammar and giving minute details about EVERYTHING , her double-standard of seeing two men but being offended if they show any interest in someone else and the incredible detail of what a cat may be doing that adds absolutely nothing to the plot. Well, that was missing this time - and so were characters that have been a part of the stories from book one and any sense of reality. The only thing that was interesting was the cliff-hanger and I suppose some will read the next book to see how that turns out.

I don't like the way Joanne Fluke treats her characters. She puts them in terrible situations that are not in keeping with their personalities or characters. We know nothing about Ross except he dumped her in college and gives her no attention at all. She doesn't seem to really love him or know him at all. I will not be reading further.

TOO WORDY...READERS ARE NOT 10 YEARS OLD DON'T NEED EXPLAINING WORDS ALL THROUGH THE BOOK... IT'S LIKE THIS IN ALL OF HER BOOKS TOO MUCH EXPLANATION LONG DRAWN-OUT PLOTS CAN'T CHOOSE BETWEEN TWO MEN THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE MARRIES A THIRD RIDICULOUS.
