Cream Puff Murder (A Hannah Swensen Mystery with Recipes) by Joanne Fluke

First line in the book:  There was a loud crash as someone dropped a platter.

Back cover blurb:  Bakery owner Hannah Swensen has a dress to fit into and a date with her sister, Andrea, at Lake Eden's new health club, Heavenly Bodies.  Dragging herself out of bed on a frigid Minnesota morning for exercise, of all things, is bad enough.  Discovering the body of man-eating bombshell Ronni Ward floating in the gym's jacuzzi?  Okay, that's worse.  Nor does it help that there's a plate of The Cookie Jar's very own cream puffs garnishing the murder scene.

Trying to narrow the list of Ronni's enemies down to fewer than half the town's female population, Hannah has her plate full.  Trouble is, when it comes to cookies - and to murder - there's always room for one more...

My thoughts:  This eleventh book wraps up my sweet indulgence with the Hannah Swensen mystery series as the bookshop does not stock the new ones at the moment.  However, I will be back for more when they are available.  In the meantime, I will start another series ie A White House Chef Mystery series by Julie Hyzy which have been marked down on my next-to-read cosy reading list.
