Product Description:
Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota's annual Winter Carnival - and Hannah Swensen is set to bake up a storm at her popular shop, The Cookie Jar. Too bad the honour of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac - a half-baked idea, in Hannah's opinion. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show - sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth.Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town. Turns out America's 'cooking sweetheart' is a bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp - and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah's famous blueberry muffins.Next thing Hannah knows, the police have declared The Cookie Jar's kitchen crime scene off-limits. She's a baker without an oven - and the Carnival is right around the corner. Hannah's only alternative is to cook up a plan to save her business - by finding the killer herself.

I've read several books in this series. Every time I do, I'm disappointed at how the book seemed a little dull. For this sort of thing, I'm looking for a cozy mystery with a slice of small town life ala Monica Ferris or Lilian Braun. Instead, the small town aspects seem a little generic and the mysteries seem a little forced and padded to fill a book-length manuscript. I also didn't care for the way this specific story exploited a poorly-disguised, well-known, real-life celebrity in a cynical and ... Read More

I enjoy this series, mostly because I enjoy all the characters in it. I also grew up (from age 7 to 18) in a small town in Southern Minnesota. I definitely recognize the weather imagery of the author, especially the winter weather. If there was a tidal wave in Tibet, Elmore was always in the "Watch" zone. (We had a snow drift that made it to the roof of our house when I was a kid.)
Although the author plays some games with basic recipes--like substituting sugar and molasses for brown ... Read More

Joanne Fluke is great, her recipes are great and so are her stories, Have read quite a few of her Hannah Swenson mysteries and I love how she ties her main character in with her family and they solve the mystery together. You'll get hooked too once you have read a couple of this series. Love her cat character, finally figured out who she had named him after.

Fluke's mysteries are light reading, and Hannah, the lead character, is real with all the ups and downs and concerns of real life. The BLUEBERRY MUFFIN MURDER is enjoyable, but when you add seven recipes and the corresponding directions for those recipes, you cut into the substance of the novel. Five recipes per novel would be a happy medium lending more pages for the story line. Culinary mysteries are some of my favorites, and this one is a pretty good read. And, I love the cat!

This one didn't hold the same appeal for me that the previous two did.
Connie MacIntyre, Connie Mac to her friends, a Martha Stewart type character, isn't the sweetheart that she pretends to be and when Connie is found dead in Hannah's pantry next to Hannah's Blueberry Muffins what's Hannah to do. She needs her kitchen back so she can finish baking for the Lake Edna Winter Carnival so Hannah doesn't want any other enterprising baker would do, she sets out to solve the crime.
