Blueberry Muffin Murder

Winter in Lake Eden, Minnesota, gets heated when a murder upends Hannah Swensen’s best-laid baking plans in this beautifully repackaged trade paperback reissue from Joanne Fluke’s New York Times bestselling mystery series.

Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota’s annual Winter Carnival–and Hannah Swensen is set to bake up a storm at The Cookie Jar. Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac–a half-baked idea, in Hannah’s opinion. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cooking show–sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth.

Hannah’s suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac’s limo rolls into town. Turns out America’s “Cooking Sweetheart” is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp–and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah’s famous blueberry muffins. With the crime scene off-limits, Hannah’s only alternative is to cook up a plan to save her business–by finding the killer herself . . .
