Pink Lemonade Cake Murder is the twenty-ninth installment in the A Hannah Swensen Mystery series set in Lake Eden and featuring The Cookie Jar owner Hannah Swensen. I've been saying after reading each of the past several books in this series that I would not continue to torture myself, but here I am and once again kicking myself in the behind for even thinking things this time around might be better.

You can read the book jacket and the reviews prior to mine to get the gist of the mystery. This installment is so farfetched, so wordy and so repetitive. Are you really supposed to believe that Mike is going to just sit back and stay out of town while Hannah and Company solve the murder for which her mother is a suspect? I want to scream every time the person speaking has to say the the name of the person they are speaking to in each and every sentence and sometimes twice in the same sentence. If there's only 2 people in a room, I think we (and they) can figure out the dialogue.

There is a cliffhanger at the end in order to get you to read the next addition - but I'm seriously thinking it's time for Hannah to choose Norman and ride off into the sunset with the cats.
