In her first holiday mystery, Fluke (Fudge Cupcake Murder, etc.) takes her series heroine, Hannah Swensen, amateur sleuth and owner of the Cookie Jar bakery in Lake Eden, Minn., through a delectable culinary romp. Hannah has compiled a cookbook of the locals' favorite recipes, which are to be featured at the Christmas party at Lake Eden's community center. All the residents gather for a festive evening, including Martin Dubinski and his wife of two days, Brandi Wyen, a Las Vegas dancer who's decked out in a new fur coat and antique emerald ring. The couple provide much food for thought and speculation, especially for Martin's mother, ex-mother-in-law and ex-wife. Cleaning up after the dinner, Hannah notices her mother's silver cake knife is missing; soon after, she finds the knife stuck in the chest of the new Mrs. Dubinski, who's lying dead in the parking lot. With her sisters and friends, she goes into action to help Det. Mike Kingston solve the case. Wacky and delightful characters, plus tempting recipes from appetizers to desserts, make this lighthearted offering sure to please the palate of any cozy fan.

A história é muito curta, uma novela. Das quase 400 páginas, 200 são do livro, o resto são as receitas. A história é fraquinha, o mistério também e a resolução deixou a desejar. O Mike é um personagem detestável, eu não sei o que a autora tá querendo enfiar ele goela abaixo como interesse romântico. Pra piorar, as receitas são péssimas, cheias de coisas prontas, eu pulei grande parte delas. Não recomendo. Tem coisa melhor pra ler por aí.
