Book Reviews of Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen, Bk 1)

A little humor, a little romance, a little mystery and alot of recipes. A great mix all wrapped up in an easy to read cozy mystery.

I am now hooked on Joanne Fluke's books! And I have tried a few of her recipes (Peanut Butter Melts, Little Snowballs, Pecan Chews), and they were all EXCELLENT cookies. I'm keeping this book for the recipes AND the reading!

This was an entertaining, easy read. The mystery kept you guessing and there was no way I was predicting the ending. Includes some mouth-watering recipes perfect for all choco-holics.

I found this book to be an enjoyable read! (However I should admit I am a sucker for books that include recipes!) I love that Hannah is a totally normal and relatable character. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

This book was great! I am a life long fan of the Hannah Swensen mystery series. Fun likeable characters and great story line makes this a great book. I have read all of the books that came after this one and the stories stay strong.

I really enjoy this series. Nice characters and good plot. (The recipes are great, as well!!!)

this was her first book that hooked me. I love mysteries with a food theme.

I started reading these books randomly because my boyfriend thought they looked like something I would love...I mean who doesnt love murder and recipes? And he was right I have officially read every book she has written and I cannot wait for new ones to come out I am addicted I would reccomend all of these books Hannah Swensen is a character a lot of people can relate with and you really get into the books as you read them I think everyone should read at least one of them

Having read a couple later books, I was happy to read the first in the series. It's set in small-town Minnesota which is refreshing. The characters seem pretty much like normal folks, with a fictional twist. The story is entertaining and kept my interest through the book. A light-hearted, fast read and recipes that sound wonderful.

I really enjoyed this book. easy reading, light... not at all scary, good for reading before bed time.

Nice little mystery. Hannah goes out behind her store the Cookie Jar and finds a body. She then is drawn into finding the murder and why the person was killed. She compiles a list of suspects and starts investgating to come with the murder. It was enteraining and a nice easy read.

cute

I keep plugging away at these books, have no idea why. The writing is horrible, in my opinion, and the main characters get on my nerves so bad I can hardly stand to read about them. I am constantly rolling my heads, shaking my head (shaking the book even, wondering why I am still reading them!), but yet I have read all of them and am currently caught up with the series. I guess I keep hoping they will eventually get better.

Loved, loved, loved this book......a great mystery , characters that are believable (and likable) and yummy recipes . I made the Chocolate Chip Cookies..mmmmmmmm good. This looks to be an outstanding series and I am looking forward to many more sequels....

Good story and wonderful looking recipes. I haven't tried the recipes yet. I can see wanting to know more about the characters in the story in Joanne's future books in this series. Can't wait to read more...

I loved this book and was finished in a day and a half, it was a quick and easy read. At first I didn't think I was going to enjoy reading this book, it seemed like a cheesy who done it mystery in the beginning. I was trying out the library borrowing via download onto the kindle and figured I might as well read the book after figuring out how to download it.

I am very glad I downloaded this book and stuck through the first two chapters. I became sucked in to trying to figure out the mystery as well as craved cookies after the first few recipes. Hannah's pushy mother Delores was irritating most of the time trying to play match maker to her eldest daughter Hannah.

The only thing that was obviously wrong about the book was the fact that Hannah's brother-in-law Bill the detective was allowing Hannah to question people and become part of helping to locate who the murderer was. No detective in their right mind would allow someone, let alone a family member go around asking questions to help figure out the identity of the killer. Despite that, the book latched on to my attention and I didn't want to put it down. I went to bed late one night and got up early before my 9 1/2 month hold to get some reading in. I can't wait to read the next book. So many books, so little time!
