About this item
Thanksgiving has a way of thawing the frostiest hearts in Lake Eden. But that won't be happening for newlywed Hannah Swensen Barton - not after her husband suddenly disappears . . .Hannah has felt as bitter as November in Minnesota since Ross vanished without a trace and left their marriage in limbo. Still, she throws herself into a baking frenzy for the sake of pumpkin pie and Thanksgiving-themed treats while endless holiday orders pour into The Cookie Jar. Hannah even introduces a raspberry Danish pastry to the menu, and P.K., her husband's assistant at KCOW-TV, will be one of the first to sample it. But instead of taking a bite, P.K., who is driving Ross's car and using his desk at work, is murdered. Was someone plotting against P.K. all along or did Ross dodge a deadly dose of sweet revenge Hannah will have to quickly sift through a cornucopia of clues and suspects to stop a killer from bringing another murder to the table.INDULGE IN JOANNE FLUKE'S CRIMINALLY DELICIOUS HANNAH SWENSEN MYSTERIES!BANANA CREAM PIE MURDER"Fans of the long-running cozy series will enjoy catching up with Hannah and the rest of Lake Eden's residents as well as perusing the numerous, delicious-sounding recipes." - BOOKLIST WEDDING CAKE MURDER"There are plenty of Fluke's trademark recipes on view here, and the New York trip and realityshow frame give the episode a fresh twist." - BooklistDOUBLE FUDGE BROWNIE MURDER"Lively . . .
