Hannah Swensen is still baking delicious confections at her little shop in Lake Eden, MN aptly named The Cookie Jar. 
   
While driving to make a delivery in a snowstorm Hannah and her sister Michelle see a massive  multi-vehicle accident and get out to trudge through the snow to help the victims.  After helping the minor injuries to the local hospital, Hannah is confronted my her mother telling her that Sprained wrist patient is dead!
   
The twists and turns are entertaining, the mystery, not so difficult to figure out, but still funny.  I really  liked the way that all her friends and family gathered around her and gave a a good shove in the right direction.
