Customer Reviews

Hannah at her best!

In Peach Cobbler Murder, Hannah becomes humbled as her business takes a nose dive when competition hits town. When one of the co-owners is murdered, Hannah becomes suspect #1. To make matters worse, one of Hannah's beau has been spending time at 'night' with the victim. Joanne Fluke once again spins magic in a mystery by involving the character's realness. If you didn't like the character of Hannah in the other mysteries by Fluke, you can't but help but fall in step with Hannah as she tries to find the real murderer before she's jailed. By the time she is putting the clues together, you will be cheering her on, as she deals with the personal emotion involved with the 'beau'. And the surprise ending is absoluting Fluke's creativeness - I can't wait for the next one to find out the answer!

Another Mouthwatering Mystery

This series just gets better and better! After the short but sweet Sugar Cookie Murder, I pounced on Peach Cobbler Murder. I never had a doubt I would be less than pleased. Hannah Swensen is slowly being dragged, kicking and screaming, to bankruptcy by the arrival of a new bakery, the Magnolia Blossom Bakery, right across the street from Hannah's The Cookie Jar. And it doesn't exactly help that the bakery is run by the Southern sisters, flirtatious Shawna Lee and rich widowed Vanessa Quinn. Everyone knows Shawna Lee is Hannah's rival, and when Hannah discovers Shawna Lee murdered with a ruined Southern Peach Cobbler burning in the oven late at night at the Magnolia Blossom Bakery, Hannah's the prime suspect. Hannah starts up the sleuthing once again, but it more urgent this time. To prove her own innocence. While it takes a while for the murder investigation to pick up, Peach Cobbler Murder is one of my favorite Hannah Swensen Mysteries. Plus I LOVED the cliffhanger ending. Read this book!
