That was a very nice and cozy mystery. I really liked it. I’ll pick up the rest of the series when i have the time to listen to the audiobooks.

Hannah Swensen is a busy woman who is running Lake Eden, a popular bakery in Minnesota. When she is not creating culinary delights, her mother is trying to fix her up. Hannah isn't ready to settle down, and even if she is, she definitely does not want her mother's help. Hannah is devastated to discover a local delivery man dead, so she is determined to find the killer.

It is not as simple as creating delicious new recipes. No, every time Hannah thinks she has a bead on the murderer, yet another suspect pops up. Will she be able to use her deductive reasoning skills to identify the killer, but be smart enough not to be his next victim

If you enjoy reading cozy mysteries as much as I do, and will like the benefit of yummy recipes along the way, by all means grab a copy of this book.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder is the first book in the Hannah Swensen series. I look forward to trying to read a book a month for as long as it takes. With twenty-four books in the series to-date, and the twenty-fifth coming in February, 2020, I have quite a bit to look forward to

Uh oh, I have a new series to complete...

I forgive the clunky ending because Hannah is adorable and I love her quaint Minnesota cookie shop. Too fun!

3.5 The murder mystery part was good and i didn’t immediately figure it out but it was just okay imo. i wish there would have been more romance and i also have no idea how this story could possibly continue

I liked this serious! Hannah Swenson is very relatable and likable. Book had some randomness that maybe didn't need to be in there, but I'll keep going in the series for sure.

Very cute, cozy mystery! I love the recipes throughout the book and will definitely try them! I thought the main character was a little attitudey and just had absolutely no emotion towards other people. I feel like she fell flat. I didn’t hate her I just didn’t like her but I will definitely continue reading this series. Easy read. Good mystery. Small town. Love the recipes. Love triangle.
