CARROT CAKE MURDER

Hannah is busy helping Lisa and Herb with their huge family reunion. Everyone is thrilled when Uncle Gus shows up after leaving thirty-some years ago without ever contacting any of the famiy again. Unfortunately, Uncle Gus such a great guy after all. When he is found murdered, Hannah agrees to help figure out who committed the murder so that the reunion is spoiled. Hannah, with the help of Norman, soon find that many people had reasons not to be happy to see Gus again. Mike seems to be encouraging Hannah in working on the murder but Hannah isn't sure if she can trust him to share information with her. In the meantime, Hannah is busy whipping up her famous cookies and trying out new recipes.

As usual, Joanna Fluke's mysteries are pure fluff. That's okay, fluff is fun sometimes. This book was a quick, light-hearted read. There is still an ongoing love triangle between Mike and Norman and Hannah. It didn't drive me as crazy in this book as in some of the previous books. Hannah seems to be getting closer to Norman, but that could change in the next book in the series, I'm sure. Overall, this was as good as Joanna Fluke gets!

Rating - 4 stars
