Cream Puff Murder (Hannah Swensen Series Book 11)

Hannah Swensen, the owner of the Bakery, has a dress to fit into and a date with her sister, Andrea, at the new health club in Lake Eden called Heavenly Bodies. Dragging herself out of bed on a frigid Minnesota morning to exercise is bad enough, but discovering the body of Ronni Ward, a man-eating bombshell, floating in the gym's jacuzzi is even worse. To make matters worse, there's a plate of The Cookie Jar's very own cream puffs garnishing the murder scene.

Trying to narrow down the list of Ronni's enemies to fewer than half the town's female population, Hannah has her hands full. But when it comes to cookies and murder, there's always room for one more, as the saying goes.
