Wedding Cake Murder

By Joanne Fluke

Book Overview

In this beautifully repackaged trade paperback reissue from Joanne Fluke s New York Times bestselling Hannah Swensen Mysteries, everyone in Lake Eden, Minnesota, may have their doubts, but at long last, Hannah 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. They get a taste of the Big Apple before Hannah wins the Hometown Challenge and the producers bring all the contestants to Lake Eden to tape the remainder of the show. It s nerve-wracking enough being judged by Alain Duquesne, a celebrity chef with a nasty reputation. But it s even more chilling to find him stabbed to death in the Lake Eden Inn s walk-in cooler before he s even had a chance to taste Hannah s Butterscotch Sugar Cookies Now Hannah has not only lost her advantage, she ll have to solve a mystery with more layers than a five-tiered wedding cake

What has happened to this series?

I read a review on another site that questioned whether or not Joanne Fluke was still writing these books and I have to agree. The dialogue is stilted, forced, and unnatural as is the premise that two men in their 30's or 40's would fight over a pudgy baker who can't seem to make a decision to save her life. The whole string the two guys along for years and years is unbelievable, too, but I think most of us stuck with it because we like Mike and Norm and wanted to find out who Hannah would eventually choose. (I was pulling for Norm) And then the pudgy baker dumps both of these men who by all evidence seem to be really good guys to hook up with a college crush??? Oh, and the two nice guys agree to be attendents for the groom. Not a chance. The recipes that win the baking contest are awful. In one of the contests that Hannah wins, she doesn't even do the main part of the baking, leaving that to sister Michelle. I hate saying this, but I think I'm going to move on to a different mystery series.
