Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanne Fluke

4.0

---

To be frank, I was attracted to this book initially because of it colorful cover and its distinct title (they say to not judge a book by its cover, but here we are). I mainly picked up this book because at the time I couldn't find any other books to read in the library, but I'm glad I did! I enjoyed the combination of managing a baked goods business, family and friend relations, and a murder case, as well as how it was not super graphic, but still kept me on my toes (personally). I like the protagonist and I grew to like Andrea more as time went along (I was shaking with her when she and Hannah were investigating the dairy). Also, #justicefordanielle! One issue I had was that I could not help but question Judith (yes, she is the murderer); like would a real murderer really sit there and reveal all of her intentions to someone who is actively trying to turn her in? Maybe it's just me. Either way, it's a fun read and I am excited to read the next book!

I would rate this 3.5 stars but I rounded up to 4. I recommend!
