These days, everyone in Lake Eden, Minnesota, is buzzing with activity, and Hannah Swensen is no exception. But no matter how busy she may be, Hannah can always find time to help a friend in need - especially when there's a murder to investigate. A new minister is in town to cover for Reverend Bob Knudson, who's honeymooning with Hannah's good friend Claire. But when the replacement is found face down in a plate of devil's food cake with a bullet in his head, Hannah starts asking questions. She soon discovers that the good Reverend wasn't quite the saintly fellow he appeared to be. It will take some more digging to find the culprit, but Hannah is sure of one thing: even the most half-baked murder plot can be oh so deadly...

The recipes are great but the characters are losing their charm (I NEVER thought I would say THAT, as they are one of Fluke's strongest points) and the mystery is only OK.

A disappointment all around

Reading on my new Kindle is a thrill. Reading this book was not. A long-time fan of Hannah's, this outing was a disappointment to say the least. An occasional recipe is fun, a book full is a cookbook, not a mystery. The plot had promise, the premise was good, but the word that springs to mind is lack-luster. And the number one, topmost ANNOYING thing, is the ending that doesn't end. A sales ploy for the next book? Come on, Joanne, I hope this is a Fluke and not an omen for books to come.
Grandma Knudson would have enjoyed a little more depth, and Delores deserves far more details concerning her venture into undercover work. And as for Norman and Mike, bor-ing for Mike, and SO out of charactor for Norman!!!
Too many names of too many 'friends' whose recipes are included add to the dreary read. 'of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these'.....it could have been a good book!

Boring And Silly
Mar 12 2011
By Miss Marple

Format:Hardcover
I've read the whole series. It was pretty good in the beginning. But now, in the latest one, there are way too many recipes, way too much talk about food and too little mystery. Hannah's relationship with Mike and Norman is tedious beyond measure. The mystery was almost non-existent, and the ending ridiculous and out of character for Norman, who was at one time a good guy. Joanne Fluke can write an interesting and fun book, but this one wasn't it.

It's not often a book makes me mad
Feb 25 2011
By Judith M. Miller
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I think the title of the review says it all. The murder and the plot were as expected in the series - and the recipes are as solid as ever. But it is rare that when I finish a book I am angry. At least one member of the regular cast was completley out of character and I am angry with the author for doing such a thing. It's not one I will re-read as I often do with books I have enjoyed. And I'm not sure I will even consider reading the next in the series - which saddens me.
