Hannah is busy juggling whipping up treats for the chamber of commerce booth at the Tri-County fair and judging the baking contest. But when Hannah discovers a fellow bake contest judge dead alongside an upended key lime pie, it's up to her to find the murderer before a carnival ride could be her last ...
It promises to be a busy week for Hannah Swensen. Not only is she whipping up treats for the chamber of commerce booth at the Tri-County fair, she's also judging the baking contest; acting as a magician's assistant for her business partner's husband; trying to coax Moishe, her previously rapacious feline, to end his hunger strike, and performing her own private carnival act by juggling the demands of her mother and sisters.
With so much on her plate, it's no wonder Hannah finds herself on the midway only moments before the fair closes for the night. After hearing a suspicious thump, she goes snooping—only to discover Willa Sunquist, a student teacher and fellow bake contest judge, dead alongside an upended key lime pie. But who would want to kill Willa and why?
Now Hannah needs to crank up the heat, hoping that Willa's killer will get rattled and make a mistake. If that happens she intends to be there, even if it means getting on a carnival ride that could very well be her last ...
"Yummy ... Fluke has developed a charming supporting cast who all feel like friends by the time the murder is solved. The dozens of tempting recipes Fluke includes are an added treat."—Publishers Weekly

      Another tasty offering in the Hannah Swensen mystery series offers up recipes for baked goods, girlish chitchat, a dead body or two, and suspense. Suzanne Toren has mastered the tonal patterns of Minnesotans and employs a fine sense of pacing. Most of her female characters do sound similar, speaking with gentle, cheery voices, but listeners are not left confused. The recipes sound delicious, and listeners may want to take notes. There's more baking than bloodletting in the story, but eventually we find our heroine in deathly peril. It's all junk food for the ears. D.L.G. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      The yummy eighth smalltown cozy from Fluke (after 2006's Cherry Cheesecake Murder
      ) finds sometime sleuth Hannah Swensen, owner of the Cookie Jar in Lake Eden, Minn., judging the baking contest at the Tri-County Fair. When one of her fellow judges, home economics teacher Willa Sunquist, is murdered, Hannah determines to sniff out the killer. Was it a man from Willa's mysterious past? Or a student she flunked? Fluke has developed a charming supporting cast—Hannah's besotted (and slightly spineless) two suitors, her overbearing but likable mother, her endearing sisters and her levelheaded business partner all feel like friends by the time the murder is solved. The dozens of tempting recipes Fluke includes are an added treat.
