About this ebook
Summertime has finally arrived in Lake Eden, Minnesota, and Hannah Swensen, owner of The Cookie Jar bakery, is looking forward to warm, lazy days, eating ice cream, and sharing picnics with friends. But when a family reunion takes a deadly turn, it’s up to Hannah to find a killer . . .
Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate, baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar. But she’ll always make time for her business partner, Lisa, who’s preparing for a big family reunion. Everyone is delighted when Lisa’s long-lost uncle makes a surprise appearance. No one has heard from Gus in twenty-five years.
Uncle Gus is immediately the hit of the reunion. He’s almost as popular as Hannah’s scrumptious carrot cake. But the next morning, as the whole family gathers for the group photo, one person is missing. Hannah offers to track down Uncle Gus, but her search leads to a shocking find. Over by the bar at the pavilion, she spots two slices of her infamous carrot cake, frosting-side down on the floor—and Gus’s corpse with an ice pick jutting out of his chest!
A little snooping reveals that not everyone was celebrating Gus’s return. And when Hannah unearths secrets from Gus’s past, she discovers many more people with an axe to grind. Now Hannah’s got to sift through a long list of suspects to find a killer—even if it could mean a recipe for her own demise . . .
Features Over a Dozen Cookie and Dessert Recipes from The Cookie Jar!

Good recipes, fun family dynamics, a lovers quadrangle, and a mystery sprinkled on top! This time no filching evidence, no contaminating crime scenes, just sleuthing competitively while sharing info...admit I missed that bull in china shop style! I like all her guys, hard to choose which one I hope she ends with!

This is an incredible story. This particular story gives a lot of backstory about some of my favorite characters. I really enjoyed all of the information that was given in this one. The villain in this one was very chilling. I love all the characters, they keep me coming me back for more. I really enjoyed the change in setting. It gave a freshness that I really liked. Absolutely wonderful.

This murder mystery, full of sweet goodies, is a great read like the rest of the Hannah Swenson mysteries by Joanne Fluke. I love all of them.
