Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder
by Joanne Fluke
mysterious
Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder follows Hannah, a local bakery owner as she and a local police officer attempt to solve the murder of a local deliveryman.
Honestly, I am kind of at a loss of words with this book. I like cozy mysteries in general, even if I find them to be kind of predictable, but this one held many issues. The way Fluke described both people who had trauma and people who are not traditionally beautiful made this a hard read. It feels as though Fluke herself is so far detatched from the younger generation that it was meant for the boomer audience. In the word choice, toxic body image issues, and handling of domestic violence this felt like a how not to handle bad situations book.
Not to mention that the main character seems to get away with illegal acts simply because she is pretty, single, and friends with local law enforcement.
Overall, left a bad taste in my mouth and I will not be continuing with Fluke's work.
