Review: Christmas Cake Murder

Christmas Cake Murder Christmas Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hannah Swensen is at it again! Baking cookies and solving mysteries!
This book takes you back the humble beginnings of The Cookie Jar and gives you a taste of what came before Hannah starts catching killers. Mike and Norman do not make an appearance so the Swensen women really pick up the slack. Lots of recipes (except I think Hannah can do a little better than cool whip frosting in multiple desserts), a story within the story, and secrets from decades ago, you will be entertained until the end.
Not the typical murder mystery that we've become accustomed to by Joanne Fluke but it was definitely a page turner. I look forward to Hannah coming back to the present day in the next book in this series.
I voluntarily read and reviewed this book via NetGalley.

Review: Stabbed in the Baklava

Stabbed in the Baklava by Tina Kashian My rating: 5 of 5 stars If loved the first Kabob Kitchen mystery then you're definitely going to love this second installment. Just by the stunning cover you can see that the mystery is set in the midst of a wedding! I really enjoy cozies that include weddings and this one did not disappoint. The author has created likable characters and the mystery is well planned. Lots of twists and turns keep you guessing until the end. I especially loved the recipes included at the end of book. I am a real fan of this series and am eagerly awaiting the next book by this author! View all my reviews
