Lemon Meringue Pie Murder

Title: Lemon Meringue Pie Murder
Subtitle: A Hannah Swensen Mystery
Author: Joanne Fluke
Pages: 322

Welcom to Lake Eden, Minnesota where Hannah Swensen owns the local bake shop The Cookie Jar. But with the town on the cusp of the Fourth of July holiday, Hannah discovers a grisly surprise, Rhonda Scarf a town local has been killed and it's up to her to help solve the crime, before time runs out!

Sounds like your regular run of the mill mystery novel right? Wrong! What makes Hannah special is her recipes. Yes, you read that right recipes. In each Hannah Swensen mystery book lies REAL recipes for dessert, cookies, and more. Not only are the recipes EASY to read, follow, and understand but they are TASTY too. When I read the first book Chocolate Chip Coookie Murder I decided to try a couple of recipes on my family. Guess what? Huge hit. And I have already been asked to bring along another batch this Christmas. When my company had a potluck, I decided that the Fluke recipe had done so well with my family that I would try them again. And another hit on my hands. They now think I am a baking genius! Giggles!

So not only did the story entertain me but I am SO excited to try out the recipes. The recipes alone are reason enough to check out this book and all the others in the Hannah Swensen Mysteries. Beause cookies and reading just go together. 4 out of 5 stars!
