Key Lime Pie Murder (Hannah Swensen series Book 9)

This week promises to be a busy one for Hannah Swensen. Not only is she whipping up treats for the chamber of commerce booth at the Tri-County fair, but she is also juggling multiple responsibilities, including acting as a judge for the baking contest, assisting her business partner's husband in his magic act, and trying to coax her previously ravenous feline, Moishe, to end his hunger strike. Furthermore, she is performing her own private carnival act by balancing the demands of her mother and sisters.

With so much on her plate, it's no wonder that Hannah finds herself on the midway only moments before the fair closes for the night. After hearing a suspicious thump, she decides to investigate, leading her to the discovery of Willa Sunquist, a student teacher and fellow bake contest judge, lying dead alongside an overturned key lime pie. The question remains: who would want to kill Willa, and why?

Determined to uncover the truth, Hannah knows she needs to crank up the heat, hoping that Willa's killer will make a mistake that she can capitalize on. However, in her pursuit of justice, she may find herself on a carnival ride that could very well be her last.

Throughout this gripping mystery, Hannah's skills as a baker are showcased, with over a dozen cookie and dessert recipes from The Cookie Jar being featured.
