Strawberry Shortcake Murder (A Hannah Swensen Mystery) - Hardcover

"Another delicious adventure...a superior cosy sure to leave readers satisfied...but hungry for more." - Publishers Weekly"

In her highly-praised debut, Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder, intrepid amateur sleuth and bakery owner Hannah Swensen proved that when it comes to crime, nothing is sweeter than a woman who knows how to really mix it up. Now, the flame-haired, tart-talking (and baking) heroine is back, judging a contest where the competition is really murder. When the president of Hartland Flour chooses cozy Lake Eden, Minnesota, as the spot for their first annual Dessert Bake-OIT, Hannah is thrilled to serve as the head judge. She figures the TV coverage can only help her already popular bakery, The Cookie Jar. But when a fellow judge, Coach Boyd Watson, is found dead, face-down in Hannah's celebrated strawberry shortcake, Lake Eden's sweet ride to fame turns very sour. All the evidence points to the dead man's abused wife, Danielle, whose fresh shiner and blood-stained hands certainly provide more than enough motive and means. However, Hannah's convinced Danielle is innocent and she's determined to find the real killer. But IIannah will have to be very careful, because somebody is cooking up a recipe for murder...with Hannah landing on the "necessary ingredients" list.
