This is the first book in the Hannah Swenson Mystery series... after reading it, I couldn't stop reading the rest of the series. The books are very well written, and the fist book launched the series very well.

This was an entertaining, easy read. The mystery kept you guessing and there was no way I was predicting the ending. Includes some mouth-watering recipes perfect for all choco-holics.

I am now hooked on Joanne Fluke's books! And I have tried a few of her recipes (Peanut Butter Melts, Little Snowballs, Pecan Chews), and they were all EXCELLENT cookies. I'm keeping this book for the recipes AND the reading!

Having read a couple later books, I was happy to read the first in the series. It's set in small-town Minnesota which is refreshing. The characters seem pretty much like normal folks, with a fictional twist. The story is entertaining and kept my interest through the book. A light-hearted, fast read and recipes that sound wonderful.

I loved this book and was finished in a day and a half, it was a quick and easy read. At first I didn't think I was going to enjoy reading this book, it seemed like a cheesy who done it mystery in the beginning. I was trying out the library borrowing via download onto the kindle and figured I might as well read the book after figuring out how to download it.

I am very glad I downloaded this book and stuck through the first two chapters. I became sucked in to trying to figure out the mystery as well as craved cookies after the first few recipes. Hannah's pushy mother Delores was irritating most of the time trying to play match maker to her eldest daughter Hannah.

The only thing that was obviously wrong about the book was the fact that Hannah's brother-in-law Bill the detective was allowing Hannah to question people and become part of helping to locate who the murderer was. No detective in their right mind would allow someone, let alone a family member go around asking questions to help figure out the identity of the killer. Despite that, the book latched on to my attention and I didn't want to put it down. I went to bed late one night and got up early before my 9 1/2 month hold to get some reading in. I can't wait to read the next book. So many books, so little time!

I found this a bit hard to get into. It never really captivated me the way some books do. But since it is the first in the series I figure the author probably hadn't hit her stride yet so will read a few more and see if they get any better. I know Fluke is highly sought after so there must be a reason why!

This looked like a series I would like so I actually started with the first in the series! By using the website Fantastic Fiction, I was led to the series of Hannah Swensen, cookie baker/store owner. Hannah lives in a small town of about 300 people in Minnesota. During tourist season, it about 4 times that size but after Labor Day, it is just the "regulars". Hannah owns and operates The Cookie Jar where the only sold other than cookies is coffee and tea. On her way to open the store, she notices a few unusual things but the worst is walking back to her vehicle seeing the driver for Cozy Cow Dairy shot to death in his delivery truck. Her brother-in-law, Bill, the local sheriff's detective asks her to help him figure out why Ron (the driver) was shot. In doing so, Hannah learns more than she ever wanted to know about Lake Eden's residents. Then she and her sister, Andrea, discover the body of the owner of Cozy Cow and all the citizens wonder if some maniac has chosen their little town to go on a killing spree. The book is full of surprises and twists, a bit of romance here and there and a shocking end. To make it even better, Ms. Fluke includes some yummy cookie recipes too! I am looking forward to reading all of this series. :)

Hannah Swensen owns The Cookie Jar, a small coffee house and bakery in Lake Eden, Minnesota. Life in this small town is good, until Hannah finds Ron LaSalle, the delivery man for Cozy Cow Dairy, murdered in the alley behind the bakery. As Hannah discusses the murder with her brother-in-law, Deputy Sheriff Bill Todd, he asks her to help him uncover the killer.

This is the first book in the Hannah Swensen series. I liked Hannah and her determination to help her brother solve this mystery, but I did find it strange that he would ask her to help. I don't think the police would want a civilian interviewing suspects. But, it did move the story forward and put Hannah into the thick of the whodunit.

This mystery had loads of suspects with a couple red herrings. I eliminated some suspects only to add them back to the list later. I'm looking forward to more of this series. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

I just discovered this series and I am hooked after just this book- which is number one in the series. It's a funny, cute, exciting murder mystery with a detective that is good at solving crime AND baking cookies. The book is a fast read and doesn't require a lot of thinking (which is good for summer reads). Excellent beach worthy book. There are also some great cookie recipes in this book! I am starting the next book when it arrives and I'll let you know how that goes!

I keep plugging away at these books, have no idea why. The writing is horrible, in my opinion, and the main characters get on my nerves so bad I can hardly stand to read about them. I am constantly rolling my heads, shaking my head (shaking the book even, wondering why I am still reading them!), but yet I have read all of them and am currently caught up with the series. I guess I keep hoping they will eventually get better.

Any fan of a murder mystery will enjoy this, and the recipes throughout the book are a wonderfully sinful bonus!
