Strawberry Shortcake Murder by Joanne Fluke

2.0

---

Gonna be honest- didn't like this book in the series as much as some others. Hannah and Andrea were together a lot during this book, and their relationship just seemed so one-dimensional and problematic. I have a sister who gets on my nerves too, but Hannah came off as feeling really superior to Andrea. She treats her sister like she's a five-year-old, saying things like "Very good, Andrea," anytime her sister figures out something in the mystery. Of course, it doesn't help that Andrea pretty much only follows Hannah around, complaining about the cold and telling Hannah how smart she is. She just becomes a sound-board for every "clever" idea Hannah has. Then, Hannah gets really mad at Mike for not letting her get involved with police business just because she solved two murders. Yes, Hannah, you're good, but Mike can't change the freaking law to satisfy your whims. She just seemed very full-of-herself and over-confident in her own intelligence.
