Hannah Swenson is back for the 28th book in this cozy mystery series. There is still no resolution in sight for the love triangle between her, Norman, and Mike. Hannah is still upset over Ross. Despite my frustration with the love triangle aspect of the book, I wound up really enjoying the mystery. There’s a fishing tournament in Lake Eden, with a famed TV fishing host in charge of the competition. It doesn’t hurt that he’s good looking. Unfortunately, his personality is lacking. When he turns up dead, there are a long list of suspects, including people he’s mistreated on the TV set, and his fiancée and her family, none of whom want to see the pair wed. I liked the recipes in this one. I was a little surprised by the cliffhanger at the end. 4/5 stars.

This series seems to have delved into short story territory. While it’s still a decent length, most of that length is recipes. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m here for the recipes but when a chapter spends more time explaining a recipe than it does on telling the story, it doesn’t really work for me. While I do still care about Hannah and her friends, I struggle with these books now.
