APPLE TURNOVER MURDER

Hannah Swenson has her hands full. In addition to running the Cookie Jar, Mayor Bascomb's wife has asked Hannah and Lisa to bake thousands of apple turnovers for the town's charity festival. Hannah and Lisa are thrilled with the business - if they can keep their sanity while they fill the order. The last thing they need on their hands is a murder. Hannah finds her old professor murdered and she needs to find the murderer to save her own reputation and that of her younger sister, Michelle. Mike is on the trail of the murderer, too, but Norman seems to be distracted.

Joanna Fluke's Hannah Swenson series is one of my favorite cozy series. I like Hannah and I love all of her Cookie Jar recipes. I thought that the love triangle had taken a shift towards Norman in the last book. It seems to be tipping a little more towards Mike in this one. Ms. Fluke leaves us with something of a cliff-hanger, at least as far as Hannah's love life in the last pages. I, for one, can't wait to see where the story leads next.

Rating - A
