The perfect stocking stuffer for fans of culinary capers, this holiday omnibus from New York Times bestselling author Joanne Fluke featuring two classic mysteries set in Hannah Swensen’s Cookie Jar bakery in Lake Eden, Minnesota: Christmas Caramel Murder and Christmas Cake Murder.
It’s Christmas in Lake Eden, Minnesota, and there’s no better way to enjoy the holidays than by cozying up to two Hannah Swensen yuletide mysteries with a plateful of goodies from The Cookie Jar bakery…
CHRISTMAS CARAMEL MURDER
Hannah and her good pal Lisa have agreed to provide all the goodies for the town’s annual production of A Christmas Carol. But before anyone can say “Bah, humbug!” the actress playing Mrs. Claus exits stage left for good. As murder suspects pile up faster than snowdrifts in a blizzard, it might take a visit from ghosts of Christmas past to wrap up this mystery in time for the holidays...
CHRISTMAS CAKE MURDER
Hannah’s life matches the hectic December hustle and bustle of Lake Eden when she agrees to help recreate a spectacular Christmas Ball in honor of Essie Granger, an elderly local in hospice care. But instead of poring over decadent dessert recipes, Hannah’s surprised by Essie’s secret talent for penning crime fiction. She’s even more surprised when the story turns real. It’ll be a true miracle if she can prevent another Yuletide disaster by solving a mystery as dense as a Christmas fruitcake...

Title: Two books in one
Review: This book has two stories and, as usual, both stories are great. I don't know why Fluke waited so long to tell us how Hannah started her bakery, but it was definitely worth the wait. Of course, delicious-sounding recipes throughout both stories. Get comfy, these read pretty quickly and you won't want to put it down.

Title: A DELICIOUS COZY MYSTERY
Review: CHRISTMAS CARAMEL MURDER Hannah and her good pal Lisa have agreed to provide all the goodies for the townâs annual production of A Christmas Carol.

As murder suspects pile up faster than snowdrifts in a blizzard, it might take a visit from ghosts of Christmas past to wrap up this mystery in time for the holidays . . . CHRISTMAS CAKE MURDER Hannahâs life matches the hectic December hustle and bustle of Lake Eden when she agrees to help recreate a spectacular Christmas Ball in honor of Essie Granger, an elderly local in hospice care.

Itâll be a true miracle if she can prevent another Yuletide disaster by solving a mystery as dense as a Christmas fruitcake . . . My Thoughts:Each section of Christmas Dessert Murder brings delicious goodies and a murder mystery to the residents of Lake Eden.I am a fan of Hannah and her Cookie Jar bakery, and in this particular set of stories, we spotlight both the present and the past.In the story from the past, we meet Hannah at a younger age and follow her adventure of launching the Cookie Jar. Other characters are also trying out new experiences and adding to what we already know about them.As with all the books, there are recipes appearing regularly and titillating us with deliciousness.An enjoyable read, although I liked the present-day story more. 4.5 stars.***

Title: How many recipes can you tolerate in one book?
Review: It may be that you read this author for the yummy recipes. And if thatâs so, you should love this book. On the other hand, if lots of recipes make you feel that youâre reading a recipe book with a bit of story sort of tucked in among the pages, then this may not be the book for you.It was not the book for me.
