Sugar Cookie Murder

Sugar Cookie Murder – Joanne Fluke

publ  - 2004
(My Blurb) Hannah Swensen runs the local bakery called “The Cookie Jar”. She has arranged for the entire town of Eden, Minnesota to have a cookbook of local recipes. They are having a Christmas party to showcase all the recipes. The group is stranded at the community center during a blizzard and, of course, someone ends up dead. Hannah sure wishes the Killer hadn’t decided to use the expensive, antique, carving knife she had borrowed from her mother. To add interest - one of her sisters is late having her baby, her mother has a new boyfriend, and Hannah has two boyfriends at the party.

(My thoughts) I like this writer. Only half this book was story, the other half was full of tasty sounding recipes mentioned in the book. I like recipes so this didn't bother me but I do wish the story had been longer. It was a nice short story.

I’d give it – 6 ½
