Carrot Cake Murder (Hannah Swenson Mysteries With Recipes)

Between baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar and unravelling the mystery of her cat Moishe's recent strange behaviour, Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate. But she'll always make time for her business partner, Lisa, who's in the midst of preparing for a big family reunion. Everyone is delighted when Lisa's long-lost uncle makes a surprise appearance. No one has heard from Gus in twenty-five years. Uncle Gus is immediately the hit of the reunion.

He's almost as popular as Hannah's scrumptious carrot cake, which is also Gus' favourite dessert. But the next morning, as the whole family gathers for the group photo, one person is missing. Hannah offers to track down Uncle Gus, but her search leads to a shocking find. Over by the bar at the pavilion, she spots two slices of her infamous carrot cake, frosting-side down on the floor - and Gus' corpse with an ice pick jutting out of his chest!Now Hannah's got to sift through a long list of suspects to find a killer - even if it could mean a recipe for her own demise...




I have read all of them up till now, there are still 3 left on my kindle I think..... sign.... I kind of like them, because of the cozy aspect, but they are getting boring.... but I have to read the rest of them.... will she every evolve and grow up???

I mean, to be honest, Hannah is getting older, but not more mature and wiser and cleverer. No, she is not clever at all, otherwise she wouldn't make the same mistakes over and over and wouldn't string along Mike and Norman, what is quite ridiculous for that long anyway. Norman seems a really nice guy and fits all her expectations and Mike... well he is just handsome and a bit shallow and quite insensitive, the opposite of Norman really, right?

Hannah is full of self loading, to fat, no fashion sense.... blah, blah, blah, her mother is prettier, her sisters are prettier and also have a fashion sense, but Hannah doesn't has it... So what, what is her problem??? I don't get it. philly cream cheese cake recipes

It is really annoying, especially because people have to tell her again and again what a lovely person she is..... But like I said, she isn't very bright really, she doesn't know to use a cell phone, a computer, can't find out what channel Animal planet is on..... please.....

When she "solves" a crime, she more of less stumbles on it and than she is so stupid to nearly get killed because she didn't learn of her other mistakes that get her nearly killed.
Jeez...

I still give the book 3 stars and I will read the rest of the books I have on my kindle, and hopefully she will decide about the man in her life before I am to bored to read one other book.
