Devil's Food Cake Murder by Joanne Fluke
2.0
2.5**
Book # 14 in the Hannah Swenson cozy mystery series and she STILL hasn’t made up her mind on which suitor – dentist Norman or lawman Mike – to accept. Looks like the boys may be making the decision for her.
Oh, and there is a murder that Hannah simply MUST investigate, because … well, it wouldn’t be a cozy mystery without an amateur detective. And, of course, as part of her snooping, Hannah has to make batch after batch of cookies and even invent a couple of new recipes (all to entice the various suspects into giving her information, of course).
I read this mostly because I needed a pink cover for a couple of challenges and the books in this series are great for those cover-color challenges. It’s a fast read and I do like some of the recurring supporting characters, though Hannah drives me crazy. Also, the recipes are always tempting.
