Book Description:
Discover the delicious mystery that started it all!
No one cooks up a delectable, suspense-filled mystery quite like Hannah Swensen, Joanne Fluke's dessert-baking, red-haired heroine whose gingersnaps are as tart as her comebacks, and whose penchant for solving crimes— -- one delicious clue at a time— -- has made her a bestselling favorite. And it all began on these pages, with a bakery, a murder, and some suddenly scandalous chocolate-chip crunchies. Featuring a bonus short story and brand new, mouthwatering recipes, this limited edition of the very first Hannah Swensen mystery is sure to have readers coming back for seconds...…
Hannah Swenson already has her hands full trying to dodge her mother's attempts to marry her off while running The Cookie Jar, Lake Eden, Minnesota's most popular bakery. But once Ron LaSalle, the beloved delivery man from the Cozy Cow Dairy, is found murdered behind her bakery with Hannah's famous Chocolate Chip Crunchies scattered around him, her life just can't get any worse. Determined not to let her cookies get a bad reputation, she sets out to track down a killer.
Who would have the sheer audacity -- —and the motive— -- to kill the most punctual delivery man Hannah ever had? Topping the list is the high school football coach. What exactly was his wife doing, making the rounds with the milkman? Could Max Turner, owner of Cozy Cow Dairy, have had a secret he didn't want to share with his top employee? The more Hannah snoops, the more suspects turn up. Why has Lake Eden's most prominent prodigal son, Benton Woodley, just resurfaced? And what about the mysterious Mr. Harris who seemed interested in buying the property next to the dairy, but then disappeared? This is one murder that's starting to leave a very bad taste in Hannah's mouth. And if she doesn't watch her back, Hannah's sweet life may get burned to a crisp.
Filled with a healthy sprinkling of humor and a delightful assortment of nuts, CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE MURDER serves up a great new mystery series and introduces a delicious, down-home sleuth that mystery readers will surely savor for years to come.

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.

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 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.

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.

Tina W. (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!
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.
