Book Reviews of Strawberry Shortcake Murder (Hannah Swensen, Bk 2)

great light funny read. Hannah Swenson is a great heroine. I love this series cant wait to get started on the next one in the series-The Blueberry Muffin Murders Very highly recommended for fans of the culinary/cozy mystery lovers!

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.

The 2nd book of the Hannah Swensen series. Is a great cozy story with really yummy recipes inside. I highly recommend this series!

The second book in this series. As Hannah goes about finding out who killed the high school coach she also continues to bake cookies and include her recipes. Very good story

Second book in the Hannah Swensen series. A fun light read that keeps you guessing until the end. Cannot wait to read the next book! Definate recommend read.

If you like Janet Evanovich's books, you'll like Joanne Fluke.

When the president of Hartland Flour chooses cozy Lake Eden, Minnesota, as the spot for their first annual Dessert Bake-Off, Hannah Swensen is thrilled to serve as the head judge. But when a fellow judge, Coach Boyd Watson, is found stone-cold dead, facedown in Hannah's celebrated strawberry shortcake, Lake Eden's sweet ride to fame turns very sour indeed.

This was a fun, quick read. This was the first book that I had read from this series, and while it won't probably win the Pulitzer, it does keep you interested until the end. I especially liked how the author included the recipes that the main character cooked up throughout the book.

Another great book by Fluke! Quick and enjoyable read!

Another good story in the Hannah Swensen series. Does anyone ever make the recipes in the books?
