Wedding Cake Murder (A Hannah Swensen Mystery)

Everyone in Lake Eden, Minnesota, may have had their doubts, but at long last, Hannah Swensen is getting married Hannah is thrilled to be marrying Ross Barton, her college crush. And her excitement only grows when she learns he'll be able to join her on her trip to New York City for the Food Channel's dessert chef contest.
