Enjoying this series. Hannah and her sister are relatable characters. The plot was interesting and the love triangle fun. I will continue to read this series.

In this 3rd book in the Hannah Swensen series, the baker/amateur sleuth investigates the murder of a cooking show host. The book can be read as a standalone.*****Hannah Swensen, who owns the 'Cookie Jar' bakery in Lake Eden, Minnesota...........has two beaus: dentist Norman and detective Mike. Other regular characters in the books are Hannah's fashionista sister Andrea.....and Hannah's mom Dorothy, who's constantly plotting to get Hannah married.As the book opens Lake Eden is planning a winter c...

My fave so far! I loved that the sisters are on the mystery solving mission together, and their banter was so fun. I also love that we are finally getting to see more into Hannah’s romantic love interests, and the characters seem more multi dimensional now.

In her third top-of-the-line culinary cozy (after 2001's Strawberry Shortcake Murder), the delightful amateur sleuth Hannah Swensen once again faces murder and mayhem with good cheer. To fight the late February doldrums, Lake Eden, Minn., is about to celebrate its first winter carnival with ice sports on the lake, activities for children and Hannah's delicious cookies from her shop, the Cookie Jar. The whole town is involved, and even Hannah's mother, who usually spends her time trying to get Ha...

You know what? It wasn't the worst thing I've ever read. Hannah is an idiot, tho.

Ah, a return to cold, snowy Minnesota where Hannah runs a cookie shop, has a spoiled cat, and always seems to find herself in the middle of a murder investigation. I love these for their charming small town life, Hannah’s meddling mother, and the delicious recipes. In this one, a famous cooking show star comes to town, But when something terrible happens, and Hannah finds herself in the middle of it, she has to hurriedly find the real killer in order to get back to her normal life. The atmospher...

Another fun, easy read in the Hannah Swensen Mystery series. :)

It's another Hannah Swensen mystery filled with savory treats I must attempt in my own kitchen, murder, and mayhem. This one involves a fellow cook, one from television, and the body ends up in Hannah's own kitchen. Yikes!Check it out. Once more, it's all about the characters. There's some great one liners in this one that are absolute gems!

4 delicious stars!!!This is the third book in the Hannah Swensen series, with each book centering around a murder mystery in her tiny town of Lake Eden. I must say that even though bodies keep popping up (O_O) I would still love to visit such a cute little town.There's something to be said for establishing a long-term relationship between the readers and the characters in a book series. When written properly, you get the effect we have here, which is the desire to know more about the characters

Hannah! You simply got to stop finding bodies! The little pretty town of Lake Eden is once again busy, this time with the preparations of the annual Winter Carnival. Everyone and their mothers have a role in it, and Hannah Swensen is no exception, as her cookie shop is loaded with orders for the incoming celebrations. This is definitely not the best moment for her to find the main guest of the show, celebrity chef Connie Mac, dead in her pantry. Of course, there is nothing so bad that is not go...

If you like a light reading mystery novel, you'll enjoy this book. If you like an exciting and intriguing suspense full of surprises and twists and turns... you'll want to pass. However if you like baking recipes you'll LOVE this book! If you only can eat Gluten Free then you'll hate the recipes (Same goes for lo-cal, fat free, lo-carb, Atkins, etc...). If you like simple to follow clues and easy to read dialogue you'll like this book. If you hate simple to follow clues and easy to read dialogue...

Holy crap I really am liking this series. I can't say much because it's the 3rd book in the series but I love that we continue to learn so much about each character. The murders have all been different and really interesting.

Read as part of #MarchMysteryMadnessIt's been a while since I read the previous book in this series, but it was very easy to get back into it and it was nice revisiting the characters. Of course the recipes all look and sound yummy. I enjoyed the mystery aspect of it, but the love lines are getting on my nerves. Three books in and we still have a love triangle. I'm not a fan of that because it seems like she's just stringing both guys along with no intention of making a decision. It sure seems,

What I thought in 2012: I'm loving this series... will have to incorporate it in every other book to catch up! And then I tried, but sometimes they get so sugary!Connie Mac is the focus here... and it's all about cooking and the winter carnival. It's an early book in the series and helps you create a strong understanding of Hannah. I wonder if they'll make this one into a TV movie. I don't think it has been yet. About Me For those new to me or my reviews... here's the scoop: I read A L...

Genre: Cozy Mystery Series: Hannah Swensen series #3 :: 5 Pretty Little Stars :: I don't get a lot of time to read cozy mysteries because I am heavily involved in romance books but this one really hit the spot for me. I absolutely ADORE this series. It is filled with mystery, suspense, and some of my absolute favorite characters of all time! Anyone who is looking to getting into this genre I highly recommend starting with this series. It's very well written and a lot of fun. Not to mention t

Brief summaryHannah Swensen is really good at finding dead bodies. In this book, she finds the body of a famous cookbook author/tv celebrity chef in the kitchen of her bakery.What I likedA few of the recipes look really good. I think I'm going to try the blueberry muffin one. I like the addition of blueberry pie filling in the batter. What I didn't likeUnfortunately, most of this book. The characters are so flat to me. I don't feel like I'm a part of the story at all. Hannah's love interests are...

Cheesy. Fun. Midwest. A little predictable? Still tons of fun. There’s even a love triangle. I’m in this series til the end.

This book is a lame duck. Uninteresting story, uninteresting sideplots, uninteresting characters. The mystery was incredibly easy to solve (for the reader). Meanwhile, the main sleuth and her friends treat it like some frivolous party-game. Nobody (except the cops, because it's their *job* though they don't see to be any good at it) takes into consideration that people actually died. The whole murder-solving thing is treated as some sort of hobby for the main character. There's no respect at all...

Another quick, easy cozy mystery from Joanne Fluke’s series. I enjoy these reads in between more serious novels. They are not exactly complex and the characters are straight out of a rom-com, but sometimes it’s nice to curl up with an easy read. On to the next Hannah Swensen installation!
