This latest in the Hannah Swensen series pretty much goes along the usually guidelines - Hannah has Norman and Mike wooing her, she's baking for special events, and she's the one that finds the body. What is different this time around is that Hannah is actually a suspect in the murder because who dies - none other than Norman's former fiancée, Doctor Bev.
The story was a bunch of fun, as usual, and the recipes sounded delicious - yes, the romantic rivalry can be a bit of wanting Hannah to make up her mind, but what woman doesn't want two great guys vying for her attentions.
Looking for the next one in 2014.
