As a fan of this series, I’m always anxious to read another book.
While I thought the story itself was good, I have to say, this book is too much.
I mean honestly, Andrea is how old and she’s still acting like a child. I got very tired of hearing about the whippersnapper cookies, I mean ok, it’s a fun cookie, but this was really over the top.
I was also annoyed with Hannah and Norman. Kiss and get together or just move on already. You can only drag this on for so long before a reader like myself wonders when this became a contemporary romance series.
I’m sorry for my brutal honesty, but this book is over the top sweetness and all this stuff with Ross has turned Hannah into a different person.
Where’s the action? Where’s the battle of wills between Mike and Hannah? These are all the funny things I enjoyed reading in this series. If the series is going to continue like this, I will make this my last book.

The Hannah Swenson series has begun to follow a predictable formula a little too much for my liking; all in all an okay mystery

Triple Chocolate Cheesecake Murder by Joanne Fluke
Book starts out with listing of works by the author in this series, table of contents and dedication and acknowledgement pages.
Hannah is at the mayor's office and his secretary is having some cookies. Andrea, Hannah's sister has a husband who is a cop and keeping her cool with the mayor but she is telling him off about an arrest her husband made.
Andrea had gotten so mad at the mayor she hit him and he fell out of his chair.
Later Andrea goes to the mayor at work with a triple chocolate cake to apologize but he's dead...
Hannah works with Mike and Loonie this time and they exchange information with one another.
There are potentially so many that could've done it... Love catching up with all the characters over the years I've read this series. Even if you are reading this a s first timer you will feel comfortable as some things about the characters will bring you up to date with the past books.
With all the Easter parties and events Hannah is busy with Easter treats and we, the reader get the recipes to try for ourselves.
They sound so yummy just reading about them. Hannah has been living at Norman's because her cat won't go back to the condo, Ross had lived there with them and the family has taken care of redoing the whole place for her return. Her sister Michelle lives there til she returns.
Love how this one all comes together. Index and baking conversion charts are listed at the end.
I received this review book from Kensington Books via Net Galley and this is my honest opinion.

A married bully with a wondering eye, Lake Eden's mayor has a few enemies. So when he turns up dead, Hannah Swenson has her hands full sorting through the suspects, one of which is Hannah's very own baby sister.

This wasn't my favorite of the series but it was still right up there; entertaining, humorous, and like solving a mystery with some of your closest friends. I'm thrilled this series is still around and I look forward to more.
