Triple Chocolate Cheesecake Murder
Joanne Fluke
When
Mayor Bascomb of Lake Eden, Minnesota, is confronted by Hannah
Swensen's sister Andrea about something her husband Bill, the town's
Sheriff, did, she loses her temper. The mayor is found dead later the
same day, and Andrea is a prime suspect in his murder. Of course,
Hannah knows without a doubt that Andrea couldn't kill anyone.
Between baking cookies for her cafe, she and friend Norman try to
help local police officers, Mike and Lonnie, find out what happened.
They will have their hands full considering how many people disliked
the mayor.
Fans of this series will be pleased that Fluke has
again produced a cozy, culinary delight that brings together family,
friends, community, and an emphasis on sisterly love. Hannah is her
usual thoughtful self, eager to help protect her family and catch a
killer. Plus, there are enough recipes included throughout to keep
fans happy. I couldn't help but feel that this book needed more
backstory. Particularly regarding the death of Ross and why Hannah
moved out of her condo. Without more of a recap or explanation, I
almost felt I needed to go back and read a previous book to catch up
with the story. Otherwise, this is a fun and light cozy mystery.
