Poor Hannah Swenson gets into more situations, but I thorougly enjoy reading her exploits. Trying to figure out which one she will eventually marry; Mike or Norman add to an anxious wait for her next book. Hannah's mother is another problem. How do you handle a very opinionated woman. Her sister Andrea is a true character. Joanne truly creats a place to visit and people to meet. You can actually picture yourself in these settings. I have all her books and am patiently waiting for the next one to come out. She is one of my favorite authors.
Hannah Swensen is in the final stages of putting everyone's best recipes into the Lake Eden Holiday Buffet Cookbook. All the items will be baked and served at the annual Christmas Buffet. While Hannah is baking her days away, testing recipes, her sister is about ready to give birth to her second child, her mother has a new significant other who is an actual British Lord and Hannah's "sometime" boyfriends are trying to up each other as usual. As the evening arrives at the Lake Eden Inn and all the town's folk arrive, Martin Dubinski slides up to the buffet with his new Vegas showgirl wife---all wrapped up in glitter and fur. His ex-wife, however, seems as cool as a cucumber about the whole thing. Then just before they cut the cakes for dessert, Hannah's mother's antique knife disappears and it is discovered deep in the decolletage of the new...and late...Mrs. Dubinski! On top of that a blizzard traps everyone inside the Inn and Hannah has to put her investigating skills to work and find a killer before this white Christmas becomes even more deadly. I really enjoyed this book. Whenever there is a murder in a place that nobody can escape, it makes it that much more interesting. Ms. Fluke does a good job of keeping the action moving and there are some surprises at the end...not to mention over 50 new recipes to try!Read full review
The book included all the recipes, along with the story, that I was looking for. Joanne Fluke's recipes are great.
