First the book review goes on Goodreads, and then I send it on over to my WordPress blog at, where you'll also find TV & Film reviews, the revealing and introspective 365 Daily Challenge and lots of blogging about places I've visited all over the world. I don't think it has been yet.įor those new to me or my reviews. I wonder if they'll make this one into a TV movie. It's an early book in the series and helps you create a strong understanding of Hannah. and it's all about cooking and the winter carnival. will have to incorporate it in every other book to catch up! And then I tried, but sometimes they get so sugary!Ĭonnie Mac is the focus here. What I thought in 2012: I'm loving this series. Hannah's only alternative is to cook up a plan to save her business-by finding the killer herself. She's a baker without an oven-and the Carnival is right around the corner. Next thing Hannah knows, the police have declared The Cookie Jar's kitchen crime scene off-limits. Things finally boil over when Hannah arrives at The Cookie Jar to find the Winter Carnival cake burnt to a crisp-and Connie Mac lying dead in her pantry, struck down while eating one of Hannah's famous blueberry muffins. Turns out America's 'Cooking Sweetheart' is bossy, bad-tempered, and downright domineering. Hannah's suspicions are confirmed when Connie Mac's limo rolls into town. She suspects Connie Mac is a lot like the confections she whips up on her cable TV cooking show-sweet, light, and scrumptious-looking, but likely to leave a bitter taste in your mouth. Too bad the honor of creating the official Winter Carnival cake went to famous lifestyle maven Connie Mac-a half-baked idea, in Hannah's opinion. Preparations are underway for Lake Eden, Minnesota's annual Winter Carnival-and Hannah Swensen is set to bake up a storm at her popular shop, The Cookie Jar.
