Strawberry Shortcake Murder: A Hannah Swensen Mystery

In Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder, her debut mystery, intrepid amateur sleuth and bakery owner Hannah Swensen proved that when it comes to crime, nothing is sweeter than a woman who knows how to really mix it up. Now, the flame-haired, tart-talking (and baking) heroine is back, judging a contest where the competition is really murder.

When the president of Hartland Flour chooses cozy Lake Eden, Minnesota, as the spot for their first annual Dessert Bake-Off, Hannah is thrilled to serve as the head judge. However, when a fellow judge, Coach Boyd Watson, is found stone-cold dead, facedown in Hannah's celebrated strawberry shortcake, Lake Eden's sweet ride to fame turns very sour indeed.

Between perfecting her Cheddar Cheese Apple Pie and Chocolate Crunchies, Hannah is snooping into the coach's private life and not coming up short on suspects. Could Watson's harsh criticism during the judging have given one of the contestants a license to kill? The stakes are rising faster than dough, and Hannah will have to be very careful, because somebody is cooking up a recipe for murder, with Hannah landing on the "necessary ingredients" list.

Strawberry Shortcake Murder is another delicious adventure, a superior cozy sure to leave readers satisfied, but hungry for more. The book includes seven delicious recipes for readers to enjoy.
