First line in the book: The Amen couldn't come fast enough to suit Hannah Swensen.
Backcover blurb: Between baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar and unraveling the mystery of her cat Moishe's recent strange behaviour, Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate. But she'll always make time for her business partner, Lisa, who's in the midst of 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, which is also Gus's favourite dessert. 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!
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...
My thoughts: I do love carrot cake from time to time, even better carrots in soup or carrot soup. How did I get to the eleventh book in the series so quick? After a bit of Googling, I found that there are five books left in the series, the newest one coming out in February of next year called Devil's Food Cake Murder. Happy reading.
Rating: 3/5
