As seen on Hallmark in the Murder, She Baked film collection, read the series that started it all, including ten original recipes for you to try!
As she sits in her nearly empty bakery on Groundhog Day, Hannah Swensen can only hope that spring is just around the corner—and that the popularity of the new Magnolia Blossom Bakery is just a passing fad. The southern hospitality of Lake Eden's two
Georgia transplants, Shawna Lee and Vanessa Quinn, is grating on Hannah's nerves—and cutting into her profits—at The Cookie Jar.
At least Hannah has her business partner Lisa's wedding to look forward to. Unfortunately, Shawna Lee has finagled an invitation to the reception—and is bringing her Southern Peach Cobbler for the dessert table. Things go from bad to worse when Shawna
Lee and Hannah's sometime-boyfriend, Detective Mike Kingston, are no-shows to the wedding. When Hannah sees lights on at the Magnolia Blossom Bakery after the reception, she investigates—and finds Shawna Lee shot to death.
Everyone in town knew the Cookie Jar's business was suffering—a fact that puts Hannah at the top of the initial list of suspects. But with a little help from her friends, Hannah's determined to track down whoever had the right ingredients to whip up a murder ...

In Fluke's mystery series, Minnesota baker Hannah Swensen makes wonderful desserts and solves the odd murder. Narrator Suzanne Toren displays her professional skills in replicating the vocal nuances of Midwestern speech. Many of her characters are prone to speak with uncomfortably high-pitched voices, but the tone seems authentic, even if irritating. Her most outstanding portrayal is that of the hung-over Southern belle who is an interloper in town. Listeners who enjoy recipes, coffee shop chitchat, down-home family sayings, historical trivia, and light romance will most likely enjoy this title. It takes four discs before the blood hits the floor, so this is more for the lover of German chocolate cake than the lover of suspense. D.L.G. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
