Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder
by Joanne Fluke
(3.5 rounded down to a 3)
Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke is a the first book in the long-running Hannah Swenson cozy mystery series. I listened to the audiobook, which clocks in at nine and a half hours and is narrated by Suzanne Toren.
Hannah Swenson runs The Cookie Jar, the most popular bakery in Lake Eden, Minnesota. One morning, she finds a murder victim in the alley behind her shop, with one of her famous Chocolate Chip Crunchies in his hand.
Big head's up that this book has very outdated and hurtful language: the r-word is mentioned at least once. It feels dated in general (it was first published in 2000) and mentions payphones and pagers and a few other things.
Overall, it was a fun listen and I may continue with the series when I need a brain break.
Tropes in this book include: cozy mystery, small town
CW: slur (r-word), gambling, murder, gun violence, domestic violence (off-page, referenced)
