Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (The First Hannah Swensen Mystery With Recipes) by Joanne Fluke


Opening line in the book:  Hannah Swensen slipped into the old leather bomber jacket that she'd rescued from the Helping Hands thrift store and reached down to pick up the huge orange tomcat that was rubbing against her ankles. 

Synopsis:  Hannah already has her hands full trying to dodge her mother's attempts to marry her off while running The Cookie Jar, Lake Eden's most popular bakery.  But once Ron LaSalle, the beloved delivery man from the Cozy Cow Dairy, is found murdered behind her bakery with Hannah's famous Chocolate Chip Crunchies scattered around him, her life just can't get any worse.  Determined not to let her cookies get a bad reputation, she sets out to track down a killer.  But if she doesn't watch her back, Hannah's sweet life may get burned to a crisp.

Set in a small town in Minnesota called Lake Eden, this book has lots of juicy morsels to keep you hooked page by page.  This special edition also features an exciting bonus novella titled Candy for Christmas.  If you want some downtime from those crime thrillers, then this is one series which you can crunched into provided you love to mix murder with cookies!
