Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder

My mom has owned this series for a long time. I'm not even sure where she got them. I just know that when I went to visit her, I saw them on her bookshelves. Fast forward some years and somebody important to me got this book as a Christmas gift by somebody important to them. The person has read this series and loved it. I finally caved and got the series in audiobook. I'm so glad that I did. I love a good cozy mystery. (More on blog: Star's Books & Tea)

Thank goodness this cookie baker is a better sleuth than her detective brother-in-law! Lake Eden residents can sleep better at night! Enjoyed the extra story about Candy and the generous sprinkling of recipes. Found it unique that each calls for the butter to be melted and combined with sugars then cooled instead of creamed together, and salt and baking soda added to wet ingredients not mixed in the flour, then each recipe calls for refrigeration 2-24 hours. I love the quicker methods of mixing up a batch of dough!

I love the Hallmark movies based upon these books, so wasn't sure how I would feel about this book. Turns out while the books differ from the movies in many ways they are still very engaging. Nice character development and thoughtful plots, like some of the storylines in the book sdcc better than the movies.
