Rating: Three 1/2 Stars***^
Genre: Culinary Mystery
Summary: Hannah Swensen is a baker and owner of "The Cookie Jar" in the small town of Lake Eden. When her delivery driver, Ron, fails to make his morning rounds, Hannah Swensen finds his murdered in seat of his pick up with her scattered cookies laying around. In search to defend the reputation of her cookies and help her deputy friend, Bill, earn a promotion, Hannah takes initiative to following a trail of clues to find Ron's killer.
Evaluation: The best treat about this book are the cookie recipes. Hannah is also an admirable character because of her independent attitude, playful feline with human tendencies, and eccentric matchmaker of a mother. The flaws in the story is that Hannah seems too separated from mourning for Ron's death and the time sequence of events are out of place, but it is still a deliciously entertaining read.
