But when a family reunion takes a deadly turn, it's up to Hannah to find a killer... Between baking up a storm for The Cookie Jar and unraveling the mystery of her cat Moishe's recent strange behavior, Hannah Swensen has a lot on her plate. But she'll always make time for her business partner, Lisa, who's in the midst of preparing for a big family reunion. Everyone is delighted when Lisa's long-lost uncle makes a surprise appearance. No one has heard from Gus in twenty-five years--and his arrival has everyone buzzing with excitement. Uncle Gus is immediately the hit of the reunion, telling tales of his great success and flashing money for all to see. He's almost as popular as Hannah's scrumptious carrot cake, which is also Gus's favorite dessert. But the next morning, as the whole family gathers for the group photo, one person is missing. Hannah offers to track down Uncle Gus, but her search leads to a shocking find. Over by the bar at the pavilion, she spots two slices of her infamous carrot cake, frosting-side down on the floor--and Gus's corpse with an ice pick jutting out of his chest! A little snooping reveals that not everyone was celebrating Gus's return. And when Hannah unearths more secrets from Gus's past, she discovers even more people with an axe to grind. Now Hannah's got to sift through a long list of suspects to find a killer--even if it could mean a recipe for her own demise... Includes 12 original dessert recipes for you to try! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - no proofreadingI've read all the books in this series, but I think I'm finished now. It just seems that the author is just filling in a story around some recipes. Also, I've never read a book with so many typos. Were they trying to get it to the printer so fast they decided to skip this process? All in all, a very dissapointing book. Rating:  - Delicious!Another tasty treat from Ms. Fluke. Her Hannah Swenson series is a winner, and I know I really enjoy it. This is a particularly strong book this time. And we have all that we have come to expect from Ms. Fluke-great characterization, a killer plot and a neat little mystery to solve. As well as lots of quite delicious recipes. I read this series because I love Hannah and her friends and family so much, but I truly enjoy the stories too. I am sad because I am caught up now in this series, and ... Read More Rating: - Meh...I just don't have the patience anymore. Initially the series was tight and fun, with recipes thrown in as an added bonus. Now Hannah is getting unlikeable and full of herself and, if she is so concerned with being an old maid, why doesn't she do something about it? It's tiresome and I think an earlier reviewer put it best when likening it to having a high-school crush on two boys at the same time. This isn't high school and it is a bit insulting to "small-town" living in that it's ridiculous to ... Read More Rating: - Pure Fun ! ! I love the series - each one seems to be better than the last - and the recipes - I've tried many of them from the different books in the system - so far they have all recieved raves from not only family but from fellow teachers. Thanks for the wonderful recipes! ! ! Rating:  - Probably more like 2 1/2 stars -- good enough plot that I kept readingBut -- a lot of the book I found silly and/or irritating. I thought the main character, Hannah, was kind of a prig, and her romantic triangle a bit too prim and proper for this day and age and a woman who is clearly well out of her teens. And -- although I am a major cat lover -- there was WAY too much about Hannah's cat in this book. Who really wants to listen to descriptions of the cute things a cat did, unless the cat is your own cat! And I never did understand the cat ... Read More
