Book Reviews of Sugar Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen, Bk 6)

This is a holiday based book, filled with mystery and some romance. I found it to be very interesting. recipes are listed in the back of hte book also. A good read, sepecialy since this is the first time I have read this author.

I generally like this series of books, but this one was a let down. A bit misleading to say it's 352 pgs, when at least half that is recipes. When the mystery was solved so "early" in the book, I thought I was in for a treat with a double helping of mystery, but imagine my surprise to find that in fact it was just a whole lot of recipes... Oh well.

This was a cute fluffy time waster kind of book but not a series I would get invested in. It was predictable and cliched but funny. The recipes look interesting so its a keeper for that reason. It gets a 3 out of 5.

This story is shorter than most of Joanne Fluke's murder mysteries but it is written for the holiday season and has a bonus of 50 recipes. You may find one or two here you'd like to try.

A wonderful mystery with an unusual twist.

A silly little book, but great recipes !!

Story is short but the rest of the book is filled with some amazing recipes. Another great installment in the Hannah Swensen series.

If you like Janet Evanovich's books, you'll like Joanne Fluke. When it comes to holidays, Minnesotans rise to the occasion - and the little town of Lake Eden is baking up a storm with Hannah Swensen leading the way. The annual Christmas Buffet is the final test of the recipes Hannah has collected for the Lake Eden Holiday Buffet Cookbook. The recently divorced Martin Dubinski arrives at the buffet with his new Vegas showgirl wife - all wrapped up in glitter and fur. His ex-wife, however, seems as cool as chilled eggnog. And when Hannah's mother's antique Christmas cake knife diappears, its discovery in the decolletage of the new - and now late - Mrs. Dibinski puts the festivities on ice.
