Book Description:
With The Cookie Jar, Hannah Swensen has a mouthwatering monopoly on the bakery business of Lake Eden, Minnesota. But when a rival store opens, tensions begin to bubble. As she sits in her nearly empty store on Groundhog Day, Hannah can only hope that spring is just around the corner -- and that the popularity of the new Magnolia Blossom Bakery is just a passing fad.
The southern hospitality of Lake Eden's two Georgia transplants, Shawna Lee and Vanessa Quinn, is grating on Hannah's nerves -- and cutting into her profits. At least Hannah has her business partner Lisa's wedding to look forward to. She's turned one of Lisa's favorite childhood treats into a spectacular Wedding Cookie Cake.
Lisa's aunt will be bringing her famous Peach Cobbler to the reception. But Hannah starts to steam when she finds out that Shawna Lee has been invited -- and is bringing her own Peach Cobbler. Hannah doesn't like having the Georgia Peach in the mix, especially when both Shawna Lee and Hannah's sometime-boyfriend, Detective Mike Kingston, are no-shows to the wedding.
Hannah has suspected that Mike is interested in more than Shawna Lee's baking abilities. So when she sees lights on at the Magnolia Blossom Bakery after the reception, she investigates -- and finds Shawna Lee shot to death. Everyone in town knew the Cookie Jar was losing business to the Magnolia Bakery -- a fact that puts Hannah at the top of the initial list of suspects. But with a little help from her friends, Hannah's determined to prove that she wasn't the only one who had an axe to grind with the Quinn sisters. Somebody wasn't fooled by the Georgia Peaches and their sweet-as-pie act -- and now it's up to Hannah to track down whoever had the right ingredients to whip up a murder.

Annette H. (Hanna gets two marriage proposals at the end of this mystery. Pretty good story. It certainly helps to read this series in order.
Lynda C. (Fun culinary cozy set in Minnesota. A "Hannah Swensen" mystery.
Love is in the air of Lake Eden, Minnesota as Hannah Swensen, proprietor of The Cookie Jar bakery looks forward to the Valentine's Day wedding of her employee Lisa to policeman Herb Bessemann. However, life is not all hearts and flowers at the Cookie Jar, as the bakery's business has trickled to almost nothing with the opening of a rival cookie shop across the street called The Magnolia Blossom. The Magnolia Blossom has just been opened by two sassy southern sisters who are giving out great promotional deals and plenty of flirtation along with their cookies, which turn out to be quite mediocre. But the novelty of the new store and the scoop-neck blouses worn by the sisters seem to be bring all the cookie business in town to their store. When Shawna Lee Quinn, one of the southern cookie divas, is found shot to death in her store kitchen the morning after Lisa and Herb's wedding, Hannah enlists her sleuthing friends to try to determine whodunit. Hannah feels she must clear herself from suspicion of the murder, as Shawna was not only her baking rival but also seemed to be quite friendly with Hannah's sometimes boyfriend, deputy Mike Kingston.
Hannah and sister Andrea are also grappling with their widowed mother's new boyfriend, a slick newcomer to town named Winthrop Harrington the Second. Their mother seems to be falling hard for the suave Englishman, and the girls are worried that her mother is being taken advantage of.
Another fun entry in this series, complete with yummy recipes!

Kristin D. (Great story. Enjoyed this one and look forward to her stories in the future.
