Lemon Meringue Pie Murder (2004)
The 4th Hannah Swensen has a lot to offer but for the most part I am starting to understand why some of Flukes constant readers reviews sound more like long suffering than adoration. The book is well written and there is definitely some character development, in this book we really begin to under...
Strawberry Shortcake Murder (2002)
Another entertaining Hannah mystery. Thus far I'm enjoying Ms. Fluke's cookie-baking super sleuth.In this novel, Hannah is determined not to let a friend be railroaded by the police in the murder of her husband. I must say that I'm not a real mystery buff, but I attempt to keep an open mind that ...

Cherry Cheesecake Murder (2007)

She has two proposals and she doesn't know which one to pick. The town are both equal divided on which o...
Key Lime Pie Murder (2007)
Boring book, boring town, great recipes.That for me sums up Key Lime Pie Murder. I usually love books centered around food because they tend to be charming and incorporate a dash of sensuality. This was not the case with this book. Hannah Swensen is the full-time owner of a local bakery and part-...
Fudge Cupcake Murder (2005)
In late October, the town is preparing for Halloween as well as the new election for Sheriff. Sheriff Grant is running as well as Bill, Hannah's brother in love, so of course that is who she is going to vote for.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (2006)
The TL;DR version: This was one of the dumbest things I've ever read. This was a stupid purchase – and a stupid thing to read, for that matter, but I did want something brainless in the middle of my Big Giant Fantasy Series. I got it. It is the first in the Hannah Swenson mystery series, which I ...
Candy Cane Murder (2007)
'Tis the season for trimming the tree, caroling, baking cookies, and curling up by the Yuletide waiting for Santa to drop down the chimney. But in this festive collection of holiday whodunits, murder is also paying a visit . . . 'Candy Cane Murder' by Joanne Fluke Bakery owner Hannah Swensen f...
Cream Puff Murder (2009)
I don't know why I didn't enjoy this book as much as the others, but a guess would be that Hannah was a bit more irritating. Yes, Hannah, there is a word called 'texting'. Language evolves, and she should know that having studied English literature. Do we speak the same as Chaucer did? No, of cou...
Red Velvet Cupcake Murder (2013)
I have read these books since the first one was written. Every time I hope that the characters will grow to be a little less flat. Hannah especially annoys me. She is a verbose know it all. All the other characters defer to her for no apparent reason. She spends a lot of time over explaining the ...
Devil's Food Cake Murder (2011)
I'm a lifelong fan of mysteries and seem to take long breaks from them indulging in Lit. Fiction and Historical Fiction. I am not a reader of the "cozy" and was curious about this subgenre. Due to the ubiquitous nature of these dessert titled mysteries I decided to try one. I didn't hate it. ...
