A sweet, small-town mystery sprinkled with humor, charm, and mouthwatering desserts — another irresistible case for baker-sleuth Hannah Swensen.
When Hollywood comes to Lake Eden, life for Hannah Swensen gets a dash of drama. A movie crew has taken over the town to shoot a film based on one of her friend’s novels, and Hannah finds herself baking for the stars. But when a shocking on-set murder interrupts the fun, the cozy Minnesota town is once again thrown into chaos. Now Hannah must sift through secrets, egos, and alibis to catch a killer before the credits roll.
In Cherry Cheesecake Murder, Joanne Fluke serves up another deliciously fun culinary cozy featuring baker and amateur detective Hannah Swensen. Between running her bakery, The Cookie Jar, and dodging her meddling mother’s matchmaking efforts, Hannah has plenty on her plate — but she can’t resist when a Hollywood film crew brings excitement (and trouble) to Lake Eden.
When a key player in the production winds up dead, Hannah’s natural curiosity and warm heart draw her into the investigation. Blending food, friendship, and mystery, Fluke delivers another delightful entry in her bestselling Hannah Swensen Mystery series — complete with real recipes and plenty of laughs. As always, justice — and dessert — are best served homemade.
