Blueberry Muffin Murder

More about the book

Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota's annual Winter Carnival—and Hannah Swensen is set to open up shop, The Cookie Jar. Too bad the honor of judging the annual Winter Carnival bake-off went to a mousse-over Connie Mac—a hobbled idea, in Hannah's opinion. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show—sweet, light, and scrumptious, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town: America's Cooking Sweetheart is bossy, bothered, and downright domineering. Things finally boil over when Hannah hurries to The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival bake-off judge crisp and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah's famous blueberry muffins. Now that the police have declared The Cookie Jar's kitchen a crime scene, she's a baker without an oven—and the Carnival is right around the corner. Hannah's only alternative is to save her business—by finding the killer herself. Includes seven original cookie and dessert recipes for you to try!
