Double Fudge Brownie Murder by Joanne Fluke

3.0

---

Double Fudge Brownie Murder starts off with the wedding of Hannah's mother. I enjoyed this latest installment of the Hannah series. It took an unexpected turn when another love interest was introduced for Hannah when she already has two suitors! Although I have only continued to read the series to see who Hannah picks between the two (and for the yummy recipes) I was interested to see where things went with this new guy. The only thing I can figure Joanne Fluke is attempting to do is to have Hannah have a bad guy, just as here two guys have had bad women in their lives when they strayed from Hannah. Only time will tell if this is the case.

Other than the new love, um, ...square? Hannah has going on in this installment she is also still dealing with her vehicular homicide case. I enjoy the Hannah series for what it is. It is not the next great American classic novel, they are just nice simple beach reads. The plots are typically the same, the format of the book is typically the same, so there is not much to expect in the way of the unexpected. Every now and then Fluke changes up the format and has a death much later in the book then she normally would, but that is about as different as these books stray from the aforementioned format.

I would recommend this book to readers who enjoy cozies and who enjoy the Hannah series.
