Caramel Pecan Roll Murder by Joanne Fluke

3.5

funny lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

---

A sweet break from some of my heavier reading, Hannah also takes a break from her cookie shop to help out at the local inn during a fishing tournament. No surprise, someone ends up dead. And, honestly, no surprise who did the dastardly deed. I was a little surprised that at no point did Hannah check in with The Cookie Jar to see how things were going. I did somehow feel like the story wrapped up too quickly at the end. The fishing tournament seemed like the main storyline and I think I could have used an extra chapter at the end to tie that up, even after the murder had been solved. And yes, I know, normally I complain that the books linger on and on after solving the crime. But, I did like how the ending leaves us wondering what will take place in the next installment. Seems like the author has finally figured out where this series might be headed! 

Thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Books for a copy of the book. This review is my own opinion.
