This is such a refreshing change from what I normally read. I have read romances for so long, and those are typically full of profanity and sex. I've been branching out trying to read something different. This fits the bill. I love the lightheartedness of this mystery... it's not very descriptive when it comes to describing the gory-ness of the murder scene, it's not full of profanity (as a matter of fact, I can't remember any profanity - not saying it's not there, but I don't recall any), and there's no sex. If my teen or preteen picked it up I wouldn't have a problem.

Short Review: When the coach dies, i did a little happy dance. For starters, how dare you not even share the damn cake with your m'effering wife. You selfish POS. And because he's a horrible person so yay death for him. Really wish Hannah wasn't dragged into it thou, should have just left it alone and once they tested the cake for poison, you would have been off the hook. Side note: i'm 100% sure it's not okay to have a bakery shop owner in a freaking bake off! Not fair at all. I like how the sisters were closer in this book than they were in book 1.

I feel like the author thinks her readers are stupid. Sometimes she explains things that only a child wouldn't have already figured out or known. Sometimes her characters are so slow to catch on to something that I wonder what's in the water there in Lake Eden.

Hannah did it again... this time, she goes after a cold blooded killer who would do anything to protect his secret. And, once again, Norman and Mike are there to lend a hand and save the day.

These are such fun books! Every time I try one of the recipes I feel like I'm sitting down to talk mysteries with Hannah :)
