This was another good read. Though not quite as witty as Donna Andrews cozy mysteries (her bird series in particular since those are the only ones I've read so far), these have a good story and mystery to them nonetheless, which always keeps me on my toes. In this book, I was able to deduce some of who might be involved early on, but the whole thing didn't fall into place until the end, thus keeping me in suspense.

Strawberry Shortcake Murder
4 out of 5
Book #2 in the Hannah Swensen Series.
Much to her mothers chagrin Hannah seems to find herself once again right in the middle of a murder mystery.
The ever popular owner of The Cookie Jar in Lake Eden, Minnesota, Hannah is asked to serve as a judge in a dessert baking contest, unfortunately one of her fellow judges is found dead with one of Hannah’s Strawberry Shortcakes so of course she feels that she should at least try and find out who did it.
Hannah’s sense of justice prevents her from letting Boyd’s abused wife take the fall -- even though Boyd is a man that deserves to be dead—so with the help of a returning cast of quirky characters that make Lake Eden a very interesting place to live, Hannah leads the readers on a tour of Lake Eden, and its inhabitants, but first she needs a cup of coffee and chocolate.
