Product Description

Product Description

Bakery owner Hannah Swensen just can't keep her hands out of the batter when murder stirs things up in Lake Eden, Minnesota, leaving the sheriff dead, a deputy accused, and a killer on the loose...For Hannah, life seems to be lacking a certain flavour lately. Maybe it's the local sheriff's election that's got her down. For years, Sheriff Grant's been the iron hand in town. But now, Hannah's brother-in-law Bill is giving the old blowhard the fight of his long, dubious career - and Grant's not taking it well, especially once the polls show Bill pulling ahead. But before anyone can taste victory, things go sour. While Hannah's emptying the trash, she makes a very unappetizing discovery: Sheriff Grant's body in the Dumpster behind the high school where she's teaching her cooking class. And as if that weren't bad enough, the poor man still has fudge frosting on his shirt from one of her cupcakes. The number one - and only - suspect is Bill, but Hannah's not swallowing it. Plenty of people had reason to hate Sheriff Grant. Soon, Hannah's dishing up scandalous secrets, steaming hot betrayals, and enough intrigue to keep the gossip mill at The Cookie Jar going through several pots of decaf. And the closer Hannah gets to the truth, the closer she gets to smoking out a murderer with a very nasty recipe for silencing people...

5.0 out of 5 stars Politics Get Deadly, 16 Mar 2004
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fudge Cupcake Murder (Hardcover)
Hannah's life is very full. Not only is she juggling the demands of running The Cookie Jar, but her brother-in-law is running for sheriff in a very tight race and she's trying to organize the recipes for the Lake Eden cookbook. One night, as she's taking the trash out after her potluck cooking class (a convenient way to test all the recipes to make sure they're right before the book goes to print), she finds the body of Sheriff Grant in the dumpster. Now Bill is suspended from work because he's a suspect, and Hannah must clear him by finding the killer before he drives the very pregnant Andrea crazy cleaning out their house. This also adds major complications to Hannah's relationship with Bill's partner Mike. Meanwhile, her mother is acting strangely, and she needs to get her cat to eat his senior cat food. And she’s searching for the missing ingredient in Mrs. Koester’s fudge cupcake recipe so it can make the book. Can Hannah juggle all these competing demands?

Needless to say, there's never a dull moment in this book. There are a few times when the murder investigation seems to stall briefly, but the other sub-plots take up the slack. Frankly, I hardly noticed because there is so much else happening. The mystery does progress well, with an ending I figured out a little before Hannah, but not by much. All the characters we've come to love are back, and it's definitely a wonderful visit with old friends. This book contains 10 delicious sounding recipes. (A word about the title recipe. The first edition contains an error. It should read 1 1/2 teaspoons baking POWDER not baking soda. This will be fixed in all future editions.)

Is it possible to get the warm fuzzies from a murder mystery? If so, this is the series to do it. If you like your murder served cozy, look no further then this fun series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comforting and homely, 20 Aug 2006
By Snapdragon (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
The Fudge Cupcake Murder is the fifth book in the Hannah Swenson series although you could read it without having read the others.

In this book Sheriff Grant has been murdered and the chief suspect is Bill, Hannah's brother in law and she takes it upon herself to clear his name and find the real culprit.

I enjoy a good murder mystery which is why I chose this series in the first place, but is not why I continue to read them. Fluke offers a fluffy sanitised version of murder (much like the old whodunnits) this is not the book for you if you ususally read Tess Grittsen and Kathy Reichs!

I tend to read (and enjoy) these books if I'm not feeling well, or I'm not able to concentrate on complicated plots. The strong sense of family, the recipes and baking and the small town America feel mean that these books are comforting and homely.

The Fudge Cupcake Murder is even more 'family and baking' than 'murder'.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite up to the standard of the rest of the series, 7 Oct 2004
This review is from: Fudge Cupcake Murder (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first 4 books in this series, and I was consequently eager to get my hands on this book.

Unfortunately there are a number of silly spelling mistakes or obviously wrong words used in places which make the book much harder to read and understand, also it appears that character names have been mixed up in various places which also detract from the otherwise excellent book.

The book doesn't seem to flow as well as the others or have the funny, everyday life descriptions. It quickly jumps from one place to the next and whilst this didn't stop me following the plot, it wasn't as much fun as I loved the character descriptions which used to fill in the blanks
