Title: Enjoy the dessert
Review: Another one of the best mysteries with Hannah Swenson at the helm. Very good from start to finish. You feel like you are watching the TV program.

Title: very enjoyable series
Review: I really enjoy the Hannah Swenen Mystery series. I probably should rate the book 5 stars, but I rated it 4 stars as it is getting a little tiresome that Hannah won't make a commitment to either of the 2 men she is dating, and gets jealous if they date/flirt with other women. It would be nice if Hannah would finally settle down with one of them (preferably Norman) and move on as the other characters in the book have.Other than that, the book is a good read. I have now read all of the books in the series twice. The books are well written and an easy read. Lots of recipes included in the book. I'm looking forward to the next one in the series.

Review: Revenge in so many forms is the heart of this story. Hannah and her indecision about men coupled with her nose for danger, mystery solving and murder. Add delicious desserts and you have a well spun murder mystery complet with Furry love in the form of kitties.What’s not to love about a Hannah Swenson story…? They offer mysterious twists, FRAMILY (friends and family), word games and scrumptious delights. Read on…❤️

Title: Love Hate Relationship With Fluke
Review: Joanne Fluke was the first cozy author I liked. I thought all her books were exciting, fun and familar. I am going to list my pros and cons about the book. I will not continue this series. I am done! I also have to note that my review is not unique. I have read similar reviews, so I hope Mrs. Fluke is listening.ConsI am tired of the love triangle! I have had enough. Why doesn't Hannah pick someone? It's been too long. The men are stupid to stick around with no hint of her marrying either one. And Fluke has never made mention of either men spending the night. IN. TWO. YEARS. Come on!Hannah dresses odd. Who wears pant suits? Her sister is supposed to be a fashion expert but still wears a French twist. No one wears their hair that way. Fluke really needs to get fashion advice for Hannah and other characters. She does not have to be a fashion guru but gosh, dress Hannah like she lives in 2013!Her sisters daughter talks like she is an adult and she is seven! I know Fluke wants to portray her as smart but seven year olds do not talk like that even if they are smart.ProsFluke still writes a great mystery. I always have fun trying to solve her mysteries.I love how fluke always writes about food in each chapter that later tie to the recipe at the end of the book.ConclusionI am going to quit this series because the Cons outweigh the pros. Good bye Mrs. Fluke you have been a good author and I used to look forward to your next book, but I just cannot take anymore! If Fluke starts a new series that address some concerns of a large population of her readers, I am so there!

Title: While the rest of the residents try to keep cool in Minnesota's Lake Eden
Review: While the rest of the residents try to keep cool in Minnesota's Lake Eden, Hannah has to balance the summer heat with the heat from her own oven! When The Cookie Jar is contracted for a special job with someone who Hannah has some bad history with, she tries to work on being as professional as possible. The new building will bring lots of money to downtown Lake Eden. However, it gets to be hard as Dr. Deb gives Hannah a hard time.During a special dinner to introduce the building to residents, the beloved secretary from the Sheriff's office falls from the penthouse garden. While it isn't a murder, Hannah pursues it as doggedly as an attempted murder. Then, when there IS a body found, Hannah is listed as the prime suspect in the murder. Hannah will need to clear her name AND solve both incidents promptly, before she has to spend a night in jail.Who would read this: fans of the book or tv movie series, fans of dessert recipes, cozy fans.Time to Read: 4 hoursRating: 4/5 starsFunny Story: I had a great time when i tried to put this book's narrative in my head, it's completely descriptive!Final thoughts: This is a solid entry into the series, I've said it before, but i have enjoyed the intrigue and the idea that hannah was suspected for a short time.

Review: I enjoyed the book very much! I love the sense of humor in the conversations among the Swensens and characters in the story. I am also enjoying trying recipes in the book. You would smile quite often, burst into laugh sometime, and cry now and then. You should enjoy the books of Hanna Swensen Mysteries, too!

Review: The Swenson family continues to charm. I don't know whether I enjoy the mysteries more, or the great ideas I get from the fabulous recipes that use basic, everyday pantry items. Together they always offer a fun read for me. There are certainly several reasons to keep me eager to see the next Hannah Swenson adventure!!
